Now you can have your coffee and eat it to with this Crockpot Paleo Banana Bread with a Mocha Swirl! Its also gluten-free and vegan-friendly!
Whats the first thing you think about in the morning? Is it “I’m so excited to go to work!” No. Is it “I can’t wait to work out at 5 am and run 10 miles in the cold!” No. Is it ” I need Cawfee!” Thats a big FAT YES! 
If your like 95% of America, then you need a cuppa joe first thing in the morning. I don’t blame ya, I guzzle 3-4 cups a day. Coffee is life, and without coffee, nothing good happens. 
Think about the last time you when a day without coffee. It was probably a horrible day, just saying’. But what most people don’t know is that when you bake with coffee, magical things can happen. It does wonders in baked goods with chocolate, and is basically like coffee you can eat. 
Banana bread is a great breakfast treat, am I right? Now how bout adding coffee and chocolate to banana bread? Hallo Mocha Swirl Banana Bread goodness! 
And its so simple and made in the slow cooker because slow cookers are Ah-maz-ing, am I right? Of course I am!

It literally took me 2 weeks to figure out what products I wanted because I couldn’t decide! After two weeks of searching, I finally ordered the products I was most excited to try:
Baking: 
*Bob’s Red Mill Arrowroot Starch: Ive been wanting to try this in baking, but could never find it in stores!
Xanthan Gum: I love using this in gluten-free baking, its super hard to find in stores!
*Cacao Powder: I never tried it before, only cocoa powder!
*Raw Almond Flour: I love baking with almond flour and never tried the raw version!
*Used those ingredients in the recipe above!
Sweeteners:
I have been running super low on stevia so I decided to stock up with new flavors! 
Better Stevia Dark Chocolate: Add to coffee for a mocha flavor!
Better Stevia English Toffee: Add this to coffee and/or smoothie for a caramel like flavor!
Sweet Leafs Vanilla Creme: Great in chai tea and smoothies!
Nunaturals Chocolate Syrup: I LOVE this stuff (hence why I got two)

Julian Bakery Paleo Coconut Flakes: This cereal is incredible! Its made of only coconut meat and coconut water and perfect for my paleo peeps out there.
Miracle Noodle Fettuccini: These noodles don’t have much of a taste (probs because they are zero calories) but perfect for an alternative to pasta! You just have to add sauce and flavoring!
