  • Author: Lilya
  • Total Time: 63-73 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

A quick, easy, and delicious gluten-free banana bread made with almond flour, perfect for busy weeknights. Moist, tender, and packed with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (240g) almond flour
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup (60ml) melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  3. Add eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda, salt, cinnamon (if using), and almond flour over the wet mixture. Gently fold with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Fold in nuts if using.
  5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check doneness at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Room temperature eggs and coconut oil blend better. Do not overmix to keep bread tender. Check doneness starting at 50 minutes. Freeze extra slices wrapped individually for quick breakfasts. Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave if preferred. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs. Grease and line pan well to prevent sticking.
