Almond Flour Banana Bread
Almond Flour Banana Bread blends almond flour with ripe mashed bananas, eggs, and warming spices like cinnamon. Flaxseed meal and leavening agents help give structure, while dark chocolate chips add bursts of sweetness. The batter bakes into moist, slightly dense slices with a tender crumb, suitable as a gluten-free bread option.

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (optional)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9 X 5 bread pan with parchment paper. Note: You can also grease the bottom and sides with oil or cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, add eggs, ghee, vanilla. Mix well and then add in the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the bread pan.

- Allow the bread to cool on a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into slices
Cup of Yum
Notes
- For an eggless version, combine 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 9 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes, and use in place of eggs.
- Expect the middle of the eggless banana bread to sink somewhat as it cools, which is normal for this adaptation.
