A moist and tender gluten-free banana bread made with almond flour, ripe bananas, and simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for a comforting snack or breakfast that stays fresh for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups almond flour (about 240g), finely ground
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup honey (85g) or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup butter or coconut oil (60g), melted
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in chopped nuts if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking at 50 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. If browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense or crumbly bread. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Measure almond flour by weight for consistency. If bananas are not ripe, soften them in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes. Let bread cool fully before slicing to maintain moisture. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and honey with maple syrup. Nuts are optional but recommended for crunch.
