Servings10 slices
Calories109 kcal
Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 ripe bananas mashed (about 2 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil an 9” x 5” loaf pan and line with parchment paper. 
  2. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth (note: you can use a mixing bowl and hand held mixer to prepare the recipe if you don't own a blender). Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth into an even layer.
  3. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 45 to 55 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and feels firm when poked in the center. Turn off the oven and allow bread to sit in the still-hot oven 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  4. Remove bread from oven and allow it to cool at least 30 minutes before turning it out onto a cutting board and cutting into slices. Serve with grass-fed butter and a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup.

    I (the author) have made this banana bread both using a blender and using a mixing bowl – either version works famously, so it’s up to you how you like to prepare your banana bread batter! Do not substitute with any other flour.

    Recipe Adaptations:

    • Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and/or 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
    • For a sweeter banana bread, add 2 to 4 additional tablespoons of coconut sugar
    • Use arrowroot flour in place of tapioca flour

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 20 ounce cans green jackfruit in water or brine
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 12 whole grain corn tortillas

Topping Ideas

  • shredded cabbage
  • chopped cilantro
  • chopped red onions
  • avocado
  • salsa
  • chopped green onions

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain the jackfruit. Set on a cutting board and shred with your hands. Chop the harder pieces with a knife.
  • Add chopped onion & minced garlic to a large pan over medium heat and broth saute for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the jackfruit, spices, tomato paste, lime juice, and water/broth and stir to combine. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. If too dry, add more water or broth.
  • Wrap tortillas in a paper towel and heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds to warm. This will help them be softer so they don't crack at the bottom.
  • Assemble tacos by filling with the jackfruit and your favorite toppings!
