Coconut Banana Bread
4 eggs
2 bananas (mashed)
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1 TBS honey, or a pinch of stevia--optional(I used a squeeze of honey, I'm guessing 1 tbsp.)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup coconut flour
cinnamon (used one teaspoon)
chopped walnuts (optional--but bet this would be yummy)
Blend eggs, bananas, and coconut oil (make sure coconut oil is not too hot or so it won't cook the eggs). Mix the dry ingredients, then blend w/ the wet.
Put into a greased bread pan, and bake on 350 for 40-45 minutes.
Lately for breakfast I just have a slice of this with some French-pressed coffee indulged with some heavy whipping cream because, oh yeah, you can live it up with the heavy cream on a low-carb diet! In other low-carb news, I almost got sabotaged by some "healthy soup." I was so excited to try my Campbell's Gourmet Bisques in "tomato roasted garlic bacon" So I heated up a bowlful and prepared to be impressed. As I ate it, it seemed kind of on the sweet side. I tried some more thinking that was just an initial reaction, but no- I felt like I was eating sugar soup. Imagine my dismay when, after finishing the entire serving, I finally read the label (which I usually ALWAYS do at the store) and see that 1 cup has 33 carbs and, gulp, 25 grams of sugar. I don't know if you know this but that is A LOT, like a can of sugary soda a lot. I will not be buying this again since I like to keep my daily intake of carbs at least under 100 grams a day for weight loss.
There's the soup culprit in the background looking all sophisticated yet innocent but it is not... |
