Paleo Banana Bread

Some people can eat paleo without ever craving "bread."  I'm not one of those.  So here's my solution- "bread" without all the bad stuff.  I make mini-muffins most of the time, that way I can just pop one in my mouth and feel like I'm part of America :)  Enjoy!

PALEO BANANA "BREAD"

½ cup (generous scoop) Coconut Flour
2 Tbs Ground Cinnamon
½ tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
¼ tsp Sea Salt
1 cup Smashed Bananas (the more rotten, the better)- usually around 2-3 whole bananas
6 eggs
4 Tblsp Coconut Oil
1/4 cup Pure Grade B Organic Maple Syrup
1/4 cup Honey
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
Organic unsweetened Raisins or Walnuts if desired (about ½ cup to taste)

Preheat the oven to 400°.  Wisk dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
In a mixer, beat eggs.  Add remaining ingredients except for banana and mix well.  Add banana and mix again.  Slowly mix in flour and beat until most of the flour lumps are gone.  Fold in raisins, etc. if desired.

Grease loaf pan VERY VERY well with cooking spray.  If you’re making muffins, use a bare pan well greased, or aluminum foil muffin liners.  Do not use paper as it will stick to the muffins.
Bake Bread for approx 30mins or until cooked through.  Start checking it at 25mins as some ovens cook differently.  
Bake Muffins for 18-20mins
Bake Mini Muffins for 12-14mins
* Makes 12 muffins/24 mini muffins or 1 loaf of bread
