Gluten-Free Banana Bread
This gluten-free recipe uses almond flour, is sweetened with honey and loaded with heart-healthy walnuts. Great for breakfast, snack time or even dessert!
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Peel the bananas and add to a medium bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
- Add in honey, olive oil, vanilla extract and stir.
- In a small bowl crack the eggs and whisk. Add the whisked eggs to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl add the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until all combined.
- Chop the walnuts into pieces and fold into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth with a spatula and place in the oven.
- Bake until golden brown, about 45-50 minutes depending on your oven. To check for doneness stick a toothpick into the bread and it should come out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before cutting. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, other types of nuts, blueberries, etc.
- We have also tested this recipe with Gluten-free flour and it works as well
- If you store your ripe bananas in the refrigerator allow them to come to room temperature before mashing.
- We like to store our baked banana bread covered in the refrigerator and then heat for a few seconds in the microwave and top with nut butter!
