When life gives you squishy, brown, spotty bananas you make banana bread of course! Plus, being my indecisive self, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make banana bread or zucchini bread so I made it the best of both worlds.
Original recipe adapted from The Civilized Caveman’s paleo banana bread recipe with some substitutions and additions. Not only is this recipe flour, grain, and dairy-free, but it’s sweetened only with bananas! What I’ve learned about my experiences with sugar is a little goes a long way and fruit is already so sweet on its own you won’t even miss/need the sugar! Also, there’s a whole zucchini in there; anyway to sneak more veggies in. *wink*
I topped it off with Kite Hill Foods plain unsweetened almond yogurt (bomb vegan yogurt), Jem Organics cinnamon maca almond butter (my favorite nut butter of all time), Purely Elizabeth Coconut Cashew grain-free granola (highly addictive), and fresh berries from the farmers market (because berry season!).
As Gwen says…This sh*t is bananas!

I just made it, and it tastes so yummy! I didn’t have super ripe, bananas, so the bread wasn’t super sweet, but I like it that way! I can definitely see myself eating this for breakfast with a bit of yogurt, strawberries, and a drizzle of honey! Thank you so much!
Hi Samantha!
I’m so glad you liked it! I also love that it’s not too sweet.
Thank you for your feedback!

Hi, I made this recipe, but I could not get the inside to bake! I followed all of the instructions, used the same ingredients, and the outside browned, but the inside was extremely wet and mushy. I baked it for about an hour and 45 minutes, switching the loaf to the top rack, but I could not get the inside to bake! Any tips? Thank you, I love your blog!
Hi! Hmm that’s strange. Maybe it wasn’t a high enough temperature? What temperature did you bake it at? You may need to raise or lower it depending on your oven. Hope that helped!
Best,
