Paleo Gingerbread Spice Loaf

A few years back, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon a boxed version of Gingerbread at Trader Joes. It’s one recipe that I wanted to recreate and make gluten free. I love grain-free loaves seasoned with fall spices.

It’s one of my favorite indulgences, and makes me think of crisp fall days, and being comfy, cozy at home baking with holiday music playing.

Cue Santa slippers in the kitchen!

I of course added nutmeg and cloves to the recipe, because what is gingerbread without those two spices? For a touch of sweetness, I added bananas. It’s a perfect addition to this recipe, and adds the perfect amount of sweet flavor.

This recipe was so simple to make, and even more delicious to eat. I hope you all enjoy this recipe this fall and winter.

Moist and fluffy carrot crush paleo muffins, these grain-free and gluten-free healthier carrot cake muffins are the perfect morning snack to Break-The-Fast. They are paleo and SIBO friendly as well. I always want my grain-free creations to taste as close to the 'real' thing like when you bake with grains as they are also super fluffy and moist always.
