Paleo Goji Berry Banana Bread

Another adventure in baking. I came home from a 2 week roadie and felt like baking yesterday. I googled and googled "banana bread" recipes, trying to find one that I could make with the ingredients I had at home (I had to banana's in the freezer, so I was using that as my baking spring board). I also hate recipes that have tons of ingredients. Like come on. Keep it simple, right? Once I found a decent one, I had to make a few modifications first. Don't worry I tasted them and had Eric try one out before I posted the recipe. This recipe can be used to make a loaf of bread (with about 10-12 slices) or about a dozen medium sized muffins.

Why I added Goji Berries. Antioxidants. Fibre. A complete protein (which means it contains all 9 essential amino acids and actually they actually contain 18 amino acids). They act like raisins in baking, only they crush raisins (nutritionally speaking). 
Why I added Chia Seeds. More calcium, fibre and protein thank flax seeds (sorry flax). Antioxidants. Omega 3's. Winning.

Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup goji berries

2 cups almond flour

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup of agave syrup or organic raw honey (I used Sweet Pure Honey)

1/4 cup of raw chia or hemp seeds (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray pan with cooking spray (I have a spritzer that I use to spritz olive oil, instead of cooking spray).
2. Mix together almond flour, ground cinnamon, and baking soda in a bowl.
3. Beat two eggs in a bowl. Mix in water, almond extract, agave syrup (or honey), mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Add banana mixture to almond flour mixture; mix until no dry areas are visible. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan or muffin tray (makes about 1 dozen medium sized muffins and about 12 slices of banana bread).
4. Sprinkle chia seeds on top (you could just mix them in to the mixture)
5. Bake in the preheated oven until brown and crisp around the edges, about 30 minutes for muffins and about 40-45 for the bread. 

Verdict: Yum. I had one muffin post workout yesterday and today along with my Sunwarrior Raw Protein. Eric had one during a video game intermission.
