Almond Flour Banana Bread
This Almond Flour Banana Bread uses ripe mashed bananas combined with almond flour, eggs, and maple syrup for sweetness. The loaf is spiced with cinnamon and contains optional chocolate chips for extra richness. It's baked until just set, producing a moist and tender texture distinct from traditional wheat flour breads. Careful measuring and letting it cool fully before slicing are important steps for success.

Ingredients
- 3 medium banana mashed (1 ¼ - 1 ½ cup, overripe
- 3 egg

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips optional, plus more for topping
Instructions

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla.
- To the same bowl, add the packed almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt. Mix together until fully combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired.

Notes
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and moisture.
- Do not substitute almond flour with other flours, as it will affect texture and baking.
- Pack almond flour firmly when measuring to avoid a wet batter.
- Line or grease the pan well to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- If top browning is too quick, tent the bread with foil during baking.
- Check the loaf starting at 45 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Let bread cool fully before slicing to set the crumb properly.
