Cassava Flour Banana Bread 768x1024 - Cassava Flour Banana Bread (Vegan, Paleo & Nut-Free)

Lately I’ve received quite a few requests for a banana bread recipe that is paleo / gluten-free / grain-free, but that isn’t made with almond or coconut flour. Typically for someone with a nut allergy or intolerance I suggest baking with oat flour (which is gluten-free), but for those people who are paleo or grain-free with a nut allergy oat flour doesn’t work since it’s a grain. Therefore, cassava flour steps in!!

The only flour in this banana bread recipe is cassava flour making it nut-free, grain-free, gluten-free and paleo-friendly. This recipe is also dairy-free and egg-free so all my vegan friends can enjoy it as well! It’s also naturally sweetened with just banana and maple syrup.

Let’s discuss the consistency of this banana bread. It is NOT light and fluffy. Baking with cassava flour yields a dense, heavy and moist result. Even though the texture isn’t that of a typical banana bread, the taste is absolutely amazing!!

Just to recap… this recipe is:

  • Gluten-Free
  • Grain-Free
  • Dairy-Free
  • Nut-Free
  • Egg-Free
  • Refined sugar free
  • Vegan
  • Paleo

Ingredients needed for cassava flour banana bread:

  • bananas: make sure your bananas are ripe – this makes them taste extra sweet in the recipe.
  • maple syrup: my natural sweetener of choice for this recipe.
  • coconut oil: I buy it in liquid form, but you can also melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool a few minutes before adding it into the blender.
  • vanilla extract: to give the banana bread delicious flavor.
  • cassava flour: this is the flour used to keep this recipe gluten-free, grain-free and also nut-free. Most grain-free flours contain nuts, so if you have a nut allergy this is a great option.
  • cinnamon: love the flavor that cinnamon adds to banana bread.
  • baking soda and baking powder: to help give this banana bread a good texture and consistency.
  • salt: adds nice flavor to this recipe.

How to make this banana bread:

Simply add the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients into a blender and blend until creamy; then pour the blended wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Pour into a loaf pan and bake! Make sure to let the banana bread fully cool on a cooling rack prior to slicing and serving.

Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love t Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love this for a satisfying breakfast! Chia seeds are packed with fiber and most of us don’t get enough fiber in our diets...

To make the chia pudding: in a blender add 1 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup chia seeds & 1/2 ripe banana (the banana is optional, but I love that it naturally sweetens it & makes it nice and creamy. Blend then pour into a jar and refrigerate overnight (or for at least an hour). Add desired toppings. I love fresh berries, grain-free granola & hemp seeds. Love some almond butter drizzled on top too!

Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blu Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blueberry zucchini almond butter shake is such a great way to get some veggies in! Thank you for this recipe @flora_and_vino

1 tbsp almond butter

I remember about two years ago I had a cough that I remember about two years ago I had a cough that was lingering so I went to a doctor that I had never been to before just to get checked out and make sure everything was okay. The doctor spent under 5 minutes with me, barely checked me out and almost immediately wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. I was questioning why I was taking an antibiotic and he didn’t really take the time to explain and rushed off to another patient. I trusted my gut instinct that I didn’t need an antibiotic (I am definitely open to taking them was necessary), and 5 days later my cough went away on its own. I could dive deeper into this, but wanted to share that I am so glad I have found a doctor that spends adequate time with me - whenever I need - for as long as I need. You deserve that!! We all deserve that. 

I’m so lucky to be in such great hands with @steadymd - they’re an online doctor that’s available via an app on your phone and you can reach out with anything anytime! I spent over an hour last week on the phone with my functional MD going over bloodwork. All of my questions were thoroughly answered. A functional MD is the best fit for ME (my doc takes a whole person approach to health & understands things like training, recovery & nutrition), but whats so great is SteadyMD matches you with a doctor that aligns with YOU and your specific medical needs, diet, lifestyle and goals, not just someone who's local based on a quick quiz you take! 

SteadyMD is so convenient and refreshing and is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a doctor. Plus it's super convenient - No co-pays. No waiting rooms. Just unlimited access to a doctor who “gets” you.

Click the link in my bio or visit steadymd.com/leahsplate to get started. 

Thank you so much to SteadyMD for partnering on this post! I’m so grateful to partner with a company I believe in so much 🤍
Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! De Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! Def a big hit w the girls!! 

First cut the crust off the bread (I used sprouted organic whole wheat) and then flatten with a rolling pin. Spread a layer of peanut butter over the bread, followed by thinly sliced banana (the banana just covering 1/4 of the bread), then roll up. Dip the entire rollup in egg & almond milk mixture (1 egg, 2 tbsp almond milk, cinnamon & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract). Cook on a frying pan over medium heat in coconut oil (or grass-fed butter). I heat up the frying pan a few min before placing the rollup on it. Cook for 2 - 3 min on each side. Drizzle some peanut butter on top & ENJOY! 

It’s a beautifullllll day here in South Florida, so planning to spend the rest of the day outside w the girls & Josh. Putting my phone away & being present in what’s REALLY important (which is the people you’re spending time with in REAL life), not scrolling mindlessly on social media - something I’m really working on! 🤍
