Can you believe that we started Athletic Avocado two years ago? It seems like yesterday when we were writing our first post. God has blessed us with this blog and we are so thankful for all the support you guys have given us!
Athletic Avocado would not exist if it weren’t for awesome readers like YOU! We also recently just celebrated our 21st birthday, so of course we had to make something real good for ya.
This banana bread fruit pizza screams “Athletic Avocado.” If you have been following us for awhile, you know sweet pizzas are kinda our thing. From zucchini to pumpkin bread to apple pie to peach pie to strawberry lemon, we’ve done it all. Or so we thought.
We were figuring out what to make for the blogiversary, and it hit us that we have never made a banana bread version of our favorite kind of recipe. Like how did we miss that? Banana bread is the BEST kind of bread ever? #amirightoramright?
So of course we had to make this banana bread version and top it will ALL the toppings for this special celebration! This is actually our favorite breakfast/dessert pizza of all-time, well so far anyways…
Unlike the other sweet pizzas we’ve made, this one serves 2, not 1 but it’s a GIANT serving for two people, so more pizza=more fun. You can honestly eat it for any meal because it’s that good and good for ya.
We split it for our birthday breakfast but wished that we made another one for that day because we loved it so much and wanted it for dessert.
This Pizza’s got three fantastic layers that will make you swoon:
Banana Bread crust made with coconut flour
Strawberry cream cheese frosting
Toppings consisting of sliced fruit, nuts and CHOCOLATE
The BEST Banana Fruit Pizza
This recipe here is a banana bread crust made with coconut flour and tasty fruit toppings (which can be totally adaptable to your preference). It’s a perfect birthday treat or an any-kind-of-occasion-treat!

PIZZA for breakfast sounds like a really good deal, especially because it’s sweet. I love sweet stuff for breakfast, and I didn’t know that you girls have been blogging for 2 years, but I’m so thankful that God brought me to your blog. Happy 21st birthday to you two! I think you are just going to grow and grow and grow.

Happy blogiversary!!! This sweet pizza looks like the best way to celebrate <3 that's so creative to use banana bread at the pizza base (but it makes so much sense!!!) – I can't wait to try a vegan version of this <3

Love this!! Such a great take on the sugar-cookie based fruit pizzas that I grew up with. I have yet to buy coconut flour – what would you recommend for substitution? Happy blogiversary 🙂
