A moist and fudgy almond flour banana bread that is naturally gluten-free and packed with the natural sweetness of overripe bananas. This recipe uses fine almond flour and can be adapted to include vegan egg substitutes, making it a versatile and delicious treat perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups fine almond flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 2 eggs or 2 flax eggs (for vegan option)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease or line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the bread.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure even baking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mash the overripe bananas, then beat in the eggs (or flax eggs if vegan) and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and well blended.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake on the center rack for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean but the bread remains moist.
  5. Cool and Remove: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then carefully remove the bread from the pan.
  6. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 6 days to maintain freshness, or slice and freeze portions for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free thanks to the almond flour.
  • Using overripe bananas adds natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg, mixed and allowed to gel).
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Store bread refrigerated or freeze slices to extend shelf life.
