This bread is delish plus it is loaded with health promoting ingredients that are an awesome balance of fat, fiber and protein to help set the stage for hormone balance.
The women in this years winter Hormone Club are enjoying this recipe along with other nourishing recipes to promote hormone balance. We have been talking over the last 6 weeks all about hormones, what impacts them, how they interact with each other, and how to use food and lifestyle to support hormone balance and minimize symptoms of imbalance.
I am obsessed with understanding the science around how the body works and what impacts it.
The digestive tract is the intersection between the outside world and what goes on inside our body. How our brain takes in and experiences the world is another way the outside world becomes part of our physiology. I love helping people use food and lifestyle to promote health and teaching people how to listen to their own body and discover what is true for them.

Ingredients
- 1 cupAlmond Flour
- 1/4 cupCoconut Flour
- 1 tspBaking Soda
- 1/2 tspSea Salt
- 1 tspCinnamon
- 1 tbspGround Flax Seed
- 1 tbspHemp Seeds
- 2Banana (mashed)
- 2 tbspsExtra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3Egg (whisked)
- 1/4 cupMaple Syrup
- 1 cupBlueberries
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC).
- Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. In a separate mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until a creamy consistency forms. Add in the oil, eggs and maple syrup and mix well. Pour the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Gently fold in your fresh or frozen blueberries with a spatula. Distribute the blueberries evenly throughout the batter, but be careful not to over mix as this will break the berries and cause your bread to turn purple. (It will still taste just as good but may not look as pretty!)
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Bake in oven for 45 – 50 minutes. Test if it is cooked through by sticking a toothpick in the middle. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. When fully cooked, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and let cool before slicing. Enjoy!
