A moist and tender almond flour banana bread that is gluten-free, easy to make, and perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (240g) finely ground almond flour
  • 3 medium-sized ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup (60g) coconut oil or butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth but with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two batches using a spatula. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently. Optionally, brush the top with melted coconut oil for a shiny crust.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and moist. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Let the bread rest overnight for deeper flavor. Store wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
