Description

A naturally sweet, moist banana bread made without flour. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with wholesome ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium-sized ripe bananas (the spottier, the better!)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond butter (smooth and unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Prep Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with oil.
  • Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Leave a few chunks if you like a little texture.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until everything is well combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  • Add the Goodies: If you’re adding walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them in.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool Down: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for later.
