Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups fine almond flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 2 eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan to ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and allow it to fully preheat before baking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, mashed bananas, eggs (or flax eggs), and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the pan on the center rack and bake for 50-55 minutes until the bread is cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before running a knife around the edges to loosen it, then carefully remove the loaf.
  7. Store: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 6 days or slice and freeze to enjoy later.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with 2 flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg, mixed and set to gel for 5 minutes).
  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moistness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender texture.
  • Ensure the almond flour is finely ground for best results.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
