Yes! Almond flour is made from finely ground, blanched almonds. It’s naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and low-carb, making it a favorite in Paleo and keto baking.
Tips for the Best Almond Flour Banana Bread

Always use super-fine blanched almond flour, not almond meal.

Don’t skip greasing the pan—it helps prevent sticking.

Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or berries.

For overnight ease, bake it the day before and slice it in the morning.
