Lemon Blueberry Banana Bread (gluten-free, paleo)

Lemon Blueberry Banana Bread. Filled with fresh and juicy blueberries that just pop in your mouth as you bite into it! Made gluten-free and paleo friendly.

Pretty much every time I go to a grocery store I pick up at least a few bananas. And then by the end of the week I end up with a pile of ripe bananas on my kitchen counter. But guess what, they never go to waste because there’s so many ways to use them up! I freeze them for smoothies and ice cream, use them for pancakes, muffins, brownies, breads, cookies and so much more. I’ve recently started using banana peels to make an organic banana peel fertilizer and my plants love it!!! If you have plants such as tomatoes or garlic, start saving those banana peels! They are rich in phosphorus, potassium and magnesium  which are so important for fast growth and healthy roots.

This lemon blueberry banana bread is such a perfect way to use up those ripe bananas. It’s simple and quick to make, gluten-free, paleo friendly, naturally sweetened and filled with summery flavors!

INGREDIENTS

almond flour

cassava or tapioca flour

ripe bananas 

 eggs

 extra virgin olive oil – I love using this mild & fruity olive oil for baking!

lemon

coconut sugar or birch xylitol for sugar-free option

baking soda

blueberries
