Ingredients You'll Need

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar. - For a Sugar-Free/Keto Version:
    – Use monk fruit, erythritol, or another sugar-free sweetener.

  • 2 ½ cups super-fine blanched almond flour


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper and cover lightly in butter.

  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

  3. Add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the bananas. Mix well.

  4. Stir in the eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar or sweetener until fully combined.

  5. Add the almond flour and mix until a thick batter forms.

  6. Scoop the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  7. Bake on the center rack for about 50 minutes. (Check at 40–45 minutes if using a dark metal pan.)

  8. Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!


How to Store & Freeze

  • Storage: Keep banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.

  • Freezing: Once cooled, wrap the loaf in foil or plastic wrap, place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before slicing.


Is Almond Flour Gluten-Free?

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.

  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing for the best texture.

  • 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.
