Drew’s Kona Banana Bread
One of the BEST paleo banana breads EVER that bakes/eats more like banana "cake" but either way, it's truly so delish! One that my mother in law, Patsy, used to make and my husband Drew really, REALLY prefers this variety over the banana bread baked as a loaf.

- Preheat oven to 350° – coat 9″x9″ (or similar size) baking pan with coconut oil and then line, one direction, with parchment paper.
- In a medium sized bowl, cream shortening and maple sugar with a hand mixer until well blended and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
- Add mashed banana and vanilla, then beat until well combined.
- Sift together dry ingredients and add to banana mixture, and starting slowly, blend until dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle with additional maple sugar if using. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Optional finish, place thin slices of banana on top, sprinkle with a little more maple sugar and brulee with a kitchen torch or place under broiler.
- Cut into squares to serve, and by all means enjoy!
