Triple Berry Paleo Banana Bread with Lemon Glaze

Triple Berry Paleo Banana Bread is a crazy delicious yet super healthy dessert recipe. It's packed full of good for you ingredients like bananas, eggs, almond flour, collagen, and fresh berries. I like to eat a big slice for breakfast with my cup of coffee.

The Best Paleo Banana Bread

That's what this recipe should really be called. It really is THE BEST banana bread around, paleo or not. It's super moist and has just the right amount of banana flavor.

It's also covered in a healthier paleo lemon glaze that is ridiculously delicious. Cause the only thing better than healthy banana bread is healthy paleo banana bread covered in glaze. Holy yum.

Why you'll love this healthy banana bread

• It's rich and moist, just like fruit bread is supposed to be. When I think of healthy baking recipes I always assume they'll be dry and totally not worth eating. Not this one. Not at all. It's succulent, spongy, soft, and all things delicious.
• Eat dessert for breakfast and feel good about it! And no, I'm not joking. If eggs, bananas, and almonds all sound like healthy breakfast food to you, then dig into this tomorrow morning!
• Collagen. Or more specifically, my favorite collagen ever: Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. I stir some into my coffee or smoothie every morning and I swear to you my hair, nails, and skin loves me for it. I also find my joints are happier with me since making it a routine. Love it!!
• It's super easy to make. One bowl and 10 minutes of your time and you'll be able to pop your banana bread in the oven.
• It keeps for days! Hello, healthy weekday breakfasts.
• It's super filling from all the almond flour so one slice and you'll be full for ages.
• Berries. Lots and lots of berries. They add a subtle tartness and lots of prettiness to the banana bread.
• With Memorial Day just around the corner (and July 4th coming up soon) all the red, white, and blue make this healthy banana bread the perfect addition to your celebrations!

One bowl easy banana bread

When it comes to baking, I'm totally not making a big, giant, fussy, mess out of it. Who has time for that? This paleo banana bread is made in own bowl and is super not fussy at all. Here's what it looks like:

→ Whisk the wet ingredients. I'm looking at you, bananas, eggs, coconut oil, and lemon juice.

→  Then add all the dry ingredients. You know the game. In goes the almond flour, Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, tapioca starch, and coconut sugar. If you're opting for the sugar, that is.

→ The berries get folded into the batter at the end. See how easy that was?

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides

Or in this case, Vital Proteins Mixed Berry Collagen Peptides.

I've never made it any secret that I'm totally and completely in love with Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. I have a couple of scoops every day, usually mixed in with a smoothie or my morning coffee. I love how good I feel (and how much better my skin looks) since I started having it regularly.

I've teamed up with Vital Proteins a few times before, so you may recognize some other healthy, collagen recipes here:

• Super Creamy Almond Butter Latte
• Flourless Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes
• Curried Chicken Cauliflower Rice Soup
• Grab and Go Bacon and Egg Cups

Their mixed berry flavor is new to me and, I'm not going to lie, I was a little skeptical before trying it. But all my fears about it tasting strange were totally off the mark. It has a bright, citrus-y flavor that totally nails it.

It's as good in a smoothie as it is this Paleo Banana Bread.

Healthier Paleo Lemon Glaze

I'm a sucker for lemon glaze. You know the stuff I'm talking about, right? With all the powdered sugar and lemon juice and sweetness. #yum

But this wouldn't exactly be PALEO banana bread if I smothered it in a traditional lemon glaze.

So I set out to make a paleo-friendly lemon glaze. This deliciousness is made from raw cashews (to bulk it up and give it the white glaze color), honey (the sweet part), and lemon juice. It's just the thing to transform this paleo banana bread from a slice of breakfast to dessert perfection.

Instructions

Paleo Banana Bread

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some extra to fold over the edges to make it easier to lift out the banana bread.
2. Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. Add the eggs, coconut oil, lemon zest and juice, melted coconut oil, and coconut sugar and whisk well. Add the almond flour, tapioca starch, Vital Proteins Mixed Berry Collagen Peptides, and the baking soda and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Add the raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries and gently fold into the batter.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with a few extra berries. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Halfway through baking, cover the loaf with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too much.
5. Let the banana bread cool for 10 minutes then carefully lift it out of the pan and finish cooling on a cooling rack. Drizzle with the lemon glaze.

Paleo Lemon Glaze

1. Place all the ingredients in a high powered blender and blend on high until smooth. If you have a regular blender, strain the glaze through a fine mesh sieve after you blend it so that it is smooth.
