A simple and delicious recipe for Almond Flour Banana Bread, a healthier alternative to traditional banana bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas well with a fork. Stir in the eggs, maple syrup/honey, melted coconut oil/butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to prevent a dense bread.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using coconut oil.
  • Adding walnuts or chocolate chips is optional but recommended for extra flavor and texture.
