Almond Flour Banana Bread Recipe

This is my family's FAVORITE banana bread recipe! It's made with almond flour, but you'd never even guess that it's gluten-free based on how fluffy, moist, and delicious it is. It only takes 10 minutes of prep time, tastes just like the classic treat we all love, and also happens to be refined sugar-free. If you've been looking for the perfect gluten-free banana bread recipe, this Almond Flour Banana Bread is the BEST!

Equipment

Ingredients

Loaf

  • 1 1/2 cups banana puree about 3-4 ripe bananas

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a standard loaf pan, 8.5 x 4.5 inches, with parchment paper and set aside.

  • Puree the bananas in a blender and measure out 1 1/2 cups of puree and add it to a medium bowl.
