Description
This is the best banana bread I’ve ever had. It’s refined sugar-free, gluten-free, lectin-free, and dairy-free. It can also easily be made nut-free. This gluten-free chocolate banana cake is made with green bananas, and it is sweetened with dates and inulin powder.
Ingredients
BLENDER INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 medium green bananas (260 grams)
- 3 pastured eggs
- 100 grams dates, chopped (about 5 big Medjool dates)

Instructions
- Mix all the blender ingredients in a high-power blender until creamy.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the blended ingredients to the dry ingredients and incorporate with a spatula (if you use chestnut flour sift it before, as it tends to form clumps).
