Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your loaf pan like a responsible adult.
  2. Mix ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl. Let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes—call it flax magic.
  3. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth.
  4. Stir in maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, and that flax egg. Stir like you mean it.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. No drama, just mix.
  6. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until combined—don’t overthink or overmix.
  7. Pour the glorious batter into your prepared pan. Smooth the top like your life depends on it.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean (with crumbs, not regrets).
  9. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a wire rack, or just eat directly from the pan. No one’s watching.
