Paleo Banana Bread with Carob Sauce (AIP and Egg Free)

 I wanted to make a banana bread that was free of eggs and nuts for people who may be following the autoimmune protocol of Paleo which is a stricter version of the diet that helps people tame their symptoms. I tried it for 8 weeks and felt a lot better but then I started traveling non-stop and got a little off track. I am glad I tried it and saw some results such as pain going away in my knee and less bloating. I would love to try it again when I am settled down for a while. It basically is no nuts, seeds and nightshades in addition to grains and dairy that is normally excluded on Paleo. There is a great guide here by my friend Mickey about how to do the autoimmune protocol. You can find this and 16 other AIP recipes in my breakfast e-book as well as 28 egg free recipes here.
