Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8X4 or 9x5 inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon oil and line with a piece of parchment paper in the middle, with excess hanging out of the sides (this helps for easy removal).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, mashed bananas, eggs, coconut sugar OR maple syrup/honey, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients together. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top and sprinkle with chocolate chips, if using, gently pressing them onto the surface. Bake 55-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
- VARIATIONS:
- Want to turn these into muffins instead? If so, simply divide the batter equally in a 12-cup muffin tin and bake in a pre-heated 375 F degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
- For the paleo version, in place of 1 teaspoon of baking powder, you can mix together 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar.
- Banana Nut Bread: Add ½ cup unsalted, lightly toasted nuts, such as walnuts or pecans.
- (Flourless) Banana Bread with Dried Fruit: Add ¼ - ½ cup dried cranberries, raisins or diced Turkish apricots.
- (Gluten-Free) Banana Coconut Bread: Add ½ cup unsweetened, shredded coconut to really bring out all that coconut flavor!
- Banana Spice Bread: As I mentioned before, I only used 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to keep the flavors cleaner. But if you enjoy banana bread with a kick of warming spices, add another 1 teaspoon cinnamon or mix it up with ¼ teaspoon each ground allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
