It’s here!!! I made this a few weeks ago and was SO blown away with how freakin tasty it was. I even gave my mom a slice and she was a fan! I say that in an amazed way because she doesn’t always love paleo treats. But she said you couldn’t tell it was grain free – WIN! When I think Gingerbread I think GINGER, so getting the right spice level on this was key. I made one batch with chocolate chips and not enough ginger and you couldn’t even tell it was gingerbread. So I ditched the chocolate chips and added a killer crumb topping – a necessity when making banana bread in my book. Oh and just because I am a team player I tried this bread at breakfast, lunch, snack time and for dessert, and it works with any of them!
Tis the season for all of the baked goods and my house has turned full on Christmas mode. The tree is up, the poinsettias are placed and lights cover our living room and kitchen. So that means it’s time to bake and fill your house with the most delicious smells. Deal? COOL! Eat it with your coffee, eat it after a workout, or eat it WHENEVER YOU DANG PLEASE! Just make it and eat it would ya?
The crumb top is where it’s at folks.

- 1/2 cup cashew butter (or almond butter)
- 4 tablespoons melted ghee or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- 2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- pinch of sea salt
Topping:
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup arrowroot
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 3 tablespoons melted ghee
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine your bananas, molasses, eggs, and nut butter, and ghee in a high powdered blender or food processor and mix well.
- Once all of your ingredients are blended, add in your coconut flour, almond flour, cinnamon, ginger, grated ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and sea salt and mix well.
- Pour your batter in a 8×4-5 inch loaf pan that has been greased with oil spray.
- Make your topping by combining all of the topping ingredients in a bowl and mix with your fingers until it looks like a mix of pebbles and sand. Pour the topping over the batter and spread it out evenly.
- Place in your preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
This looks so delicious! I have to try this, although I am not a baker and always seem to screw up baking recipes. But ’tis the season for everything gingerbread and peppermint am I right?
Heck Yes!! You got this!
Just tried this, and I think it will successfully keep me from digging into my kids gingerbread house. Many thanks on their behalf. Great holiday recipe!
Yay!! That is awesome!!
The recipe is fantastic!! however, the second day it got really moist… should i keep it in the fridge?
I do like it keep it in the fridge! It is a moist bread though!
Outstanding!!! I skipped the topping and used gingerbread chocolate bar chopped up.
Beautiful rise, great texture.
Buying more bananas to make this again with the topping.
This sounds like the perfect topping!!!
