Notes

*To Make Vegan: replace the eggs with flax eggs. To make 1 flax egg, mix together 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before using. For this recipe you will have to use 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons flaxseed meal + 6 tablespoons water).

Can You Freeze Paleo Banana Bread? Yes! I love freezing these grain free banana bread bars so that I always have a healthy sweet treat on hand!
