Description

This almond flour banana bread is a moist, healthy, and gluten-free treat made with ripe bananas, almond flour, and natural sweeteners—perfect for beginners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or butter/avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla, then whisk until combined.
  3. Add the almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in any optional add-ins such as chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Let the bread cool completely to prevent it from crumbling.
  • You can make muffins instead—bake for 20–25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze slices individually for up to 2 months.
  • Substitute flax eggs for a vegan version, though texture will change.
