A moist, grain-free banana bread made with almond flour and ripe bananas, perfect for a paleo-friendly breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (240g) almond flour
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (75ml) coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup (85g) raw honey
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.
  3. Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, raw honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk or beat by hand until fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, breaking up any lumps.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s done.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense bread. Check doneness at 50 minutes with a toothpick. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling. Store wrapped at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze slices up to 3 months.
