In a mixing bowl combine bananas, honey, butter, vanilla, and eggs, and mix until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl mix coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and Wise Woman of the East Spice.

More About Paleo
You may have heard the paleo diet referred to as ‘the caveman diet.’ This is because a paleo diet focuses on only consuming ingredients that can be hunted or gathered. So it replicates the kind of diet our ancestors would have had. The idea is that this type of consumption is easier for the body to manage, and reduces the intake of sugars and other processed foods that are associated with unhealthy lifestyles.
If you are considering following a paleo diet, make sure that you talk to your doctor first. It’s important to ensure that you’re receiving adequate nutrition based on your lifestyle and health goals.
