Banana Bread (Almond Flour)
Ingredients
Scaled from 8 8 servings (approx. 1 slice per serving)
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large very ripe bananas well mashed (1.5 cups)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 cups blanched finely ground almond flour (8 oz)*
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
-
Line a small loaf pan (8.5 X 4.5 inches) with parchment paper strips, leaving an overhang on each side of the pan.
-
Lightly spray the lined pan with oil.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla, and sweetener.
-
Gradually whisk in the almond flour, cinnamon, kosher salt, and finally the baking soda.
-
Whisk until smooth.
-
Using a rubber spatula, transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
-
Gently tap the pan on the counter top to evenly distribute the batter.
-
Bake the banana bread until browned and set, and a toothpick inserted in its center comes out dry, 40-50 minutes.
-
Using the excess parchment paper as handles, carefully remove the banana bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack.
-
Carefully remove the parchment, to allow air to circulate.
-
Cool the bread completely on the cooling rack, about 2 hours.
-
Slice it into 12 slices and serve.
