Banana bread is always a family favorite. Plus they'll never know we snuck in some healthy veggies.
Serves 8
Ingredients:
1 ½ cup almond flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon flax meal
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon
1 cup grated yellow squash, (squeeze out excess water before measuring)
3 whole eggs
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 large ripe banana (mashed with fork)
2 tablespoons avocado oil or melted ghee
½ cup good quality chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the bowl (except for the yellow squash) and whisk until combined. Add the squash and stir until combined. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is brown and a toothpick comes out clean from poking the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Remove the bread by pulling the sides of the parchment paper and place the bread back onto the wire rack to cool more before slicing. Slice, and enjoy!
