Catrin - what is the banana 'bread' that you are eating? Do you have a recipe? I've got about 1000 super ripe bananas in my freezer and I need to do something with them before they get together and form a plan to take over the whole house.

Wednesday
B: sausage, kale, onion frittata topped with avocado, melon, black coffee
L: sausage and cabbage 'noodles', clementines
S: hard boiled egg, apple
D: chili, mixed greens and tomato salad

Here is the link to the recipe. I ordinarily just use a "muffin cup" recipe where I mash 1 banana, 1 egg, a bit of almond butter (and sometimes a bit of quality dark chocolate) into a tall coffee cup and microwave for 2 minutes. I do not normally use coconut "flour" for anything, but I had wanted to try it to see what it was like. It doesn't have much coconut flour and almond flour would also work. It makes a nice banana bread loaf that isn't TOO dense and has nice flavor.

The same guy has a "Lara bar" recipe that I want to try at some point.

Here is a recipe for pumpkin pancakes (no "flour" of any kind). You can add a banana to the mix which really turned out well for me. It does increase the number of pancakes - but it is nice. I make this on the occasional weekend morning - especially if I've got something going on where I decide I need a few more carbs than normal for brekkie.

Interesting. I actually have the Civilized Caveman's ebook and haven't made anything from it. And that recipe would never have appealed to me (except that it uses 4 bananas!) but I'll try it based on your recommendation.

That pancake recipe is similar to the waffle recipe I use if you were to sub mashed sweet potato for the pumpkin. I hadn't thought of trying it in pancake form but that's a great idea!

Thanks!

The banana bread recipe would likely be even better with nuts -it just depends how much fat you want in it I mixed it in my blender which was fine. Nice and moist, the flavor is decent but I think I might tweak the spices if I make this again. It DOES fill that "dessert bread" kind of place.

I have his e-book as well and so far have only tried one thing out of it. I am finding that I prefer actual books when it comes to cookbooks, I suspect I would have tried more of the recipes by now if it were a physical book. I've printed a few recipes out for later use but haven't made them yet.

I am the same way. I just received 'The Paleo Slow Cooker' cookbook and I brought it with me to work to read at lunch time. It looks beautiful and I cannot wait to dig into it!
