Description: Low carb, low glycemic and protein rich banana nut bread This recipe came from the Green Goddess, featured on www.banana-bread-recipe.com. This is a very moist cake, filling but healthy as well as balanced with all the good fats (Omega 3s), great source of protein from the chickpeas and no insulin load as agave does not have the same effect on insulin levels. This recipe is also diabetic friendly.

Directions:  
Pre-heat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.

Mix all the wet ingredients either by hand or use the plastic S-blade for the food processor: Agave syrup, olive oil, eggs, mashed bananas or can be placed whole if using food processor.

Pulse it so as not to have the mixture too liquified. Once they have mixed well add the dry ingredients: Chickpea flour, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Process on slow speed until thick and well mixed.

Pour into a rectangular deep dish baking pan 9 inch length, 4 inch width and 2.5 depth (I used a silicone one lined with non-stick baking sheet). Add the walnuts and chopped bananas.

Bake until golden and run a toothpick through to test usually between 35-45 minutes. Sometimes, I bake for less time to have a more pudding effect.

Try this topped with any nut butter (great with almond, hazelnut and cashew butter) for breakfast YUMMY! A great way to start your day :)

Maybe a note on the benefits of low glycemic banana bread and food in general. Food with low glycemic index will release glucose into your blood more slowly and steadily. If something has high glycemic index your blood glucose levels will rise very fast. This is OK after endurance exercise or for a person with diabetes experiencing hypoglycemia but otherwise - low glycemic food is better, healthier and such diet can also prevent diabetes. So this low carb, low glycemic and protein rich banana nut bread is a great way to improve your diet. Again thanks to Green Goddess for this recipe.
