Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 3 ripe bananas (with plenty of brown spots)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Mash ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky, then gather your almond flour, eggs, honey or maple syrup, baking soda, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt for quick access.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until evenly combined, then fold in the mashed bananas gently.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution and avoid lumps.
  4. Fold Wet and Dry Together: Slowly add the dry almond flour mixture into the wet ingredients, folding carefully until just combined without overmixing to maintain bread’s tenderness.
  5. Bake Your Bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Before Slicing: Allow the Almond Flour Banana Bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain its perfect moist texture.

Notes

  • Banana Ripeness Matters: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and moister your bread will be.
  • Measure Almond Flour Correctly: Spoon and level the almond flour instead of scooping to avoid dense bread.
  • Don’t Overmix: Fold ingredients until just combined to keep your bread light and airy.
  • Use Room Temperature Eggs: They blend more smoothly and help with even texture.
  • Check Baking Time: Oven temperatures vary, so start checking for doneness at 35 minutes.
