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.
