Almond Flour Banana Bread Recipe
A hearty, moist, and naturally gluten-free vegan banana bread made with almond flour. It’s simple, nutritious, and unreasonably delicious.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed within an inch of their lives
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave because we’re naturally sweet
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour superfine is best, but we don’t judge
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon optional but highly encouraged
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed because we’re adults and we know fiber matters
- 3 tbsp water to activate the flax like a vegan potion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your loaf pan like a responsible adult.
- Mix ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl. Let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes—call it flax magic.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth.
- Stir in maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, and that flax egg. Stir like you mean it.
- In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. No drama, just mix.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until combined—don’t overthink or overmix.
- Pour the glorious batter into your prepared pan. Smooth the top like your life depends on it.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean (with crumbs, not regrets).
- Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a wire rack, or just eat directly from the pan. No one’s watching.
