Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour Provides a nutty flavor and helps create a moist texture.

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Natural sweetener; can be swapped according to preference.
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances flavor.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds a warm, aromatic note.
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans For crunch and extra nutrition. Optional.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce Can be used as a fat substitute to lighten the recipe. Optional.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth with a few lumps.
  • Add 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the bananas and whisk until well combined.
  • Sift together 2 cups almond flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt in a separate bowl.
  • Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  • If desired, fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and/or 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
