Almond Flour Banana Bread Recipe

This bread has ruined me for any other banana bread. Every time I make it a different way, I hate it. If you would have told old me that my most requested snack would be almond flour anything I would have laughed. However, I am ruined and can never make banana bread the old way. This is hands down the best recipe I've ever made. (For Banana Bread)

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Wet Ingredients:
  • ▢1 Tablespoon vegetable Oil plus 1 teaspoon for greasing the pan (coconut oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil would all work), (14g)
  • ▢2-3 Ripe Bananas Brown-Speckled, Medium Bananas, mashed, about 1 ¼ cups (300g)
  • ▢3 large eggs at room temperature
  • ▢⅓ cup 70g Coconut Sugar , OR ¼ cup (84g) Maple Syrup/Honey
  • ▢1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (15g)
  • ▢1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (4g)
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • ▢2 cups Almond Flour (240g)
  • ▢¼ cup Ground Flaxseed (28g)
  • ▢1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (3g)
  • ▢¾ teaspoon Baking Soda (4g)
  • ▢1 teaspoon Baking Powder* (4g)
  • ▢½ teaspoon Fine Sea Salt (2g)
  • ▢¼ cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips 60g plus 2 Tablespoons (30g) extra for sprinkling on top

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8X4 or 9×5 inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon oil and line with a piece of parchment paper in the middle, with excess hanging out of the sides (this helps for easy removal).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, mashed bananas, eggs, coconut sugar OR maple syrup/honey, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  4. Mix dry and wet ingredients together. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  5. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top and sprinkle with chocolate chips, if using, gently pressing them onto the surface. Bake 55-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  7. Slice and serve.

Notes

If you add in lightly toasted walnuts it makes this bread 1000 times better. If you want to turn into muffins: My suggestion would be to heat at 375 F for 30-35 minutes. (They wont take as long)
Sometimes when I make this, it needs a little extra time in the oven so always check the center with a fork or bamboo stick to ensure its clean before you remove it.
