Paleo Banana Bread

Paleo Banana Bread offers a moist, dense quick bread made from ripe mashed bananas, almond flour, and tapioca flour, lightly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Eggs, vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup add sweetness, structure, and flavor. Baked in a loaf pan, it achieves a golden-brown crust with a tender crumb, suitable for those avoiding grains while maintaining classic banana bread taste and texture.

Ingredients

  • 3 large banana mashed (1 1/2 cups, ripe
  • 2 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract optional, pure
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 cups almond flour super fine
  • 5 Tbsp tapioca flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper. 
  2. Pour banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spoon or spatula to spread the batter into an even layer.
  3. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes on the center rack of the preheated oven, until the edges of the bread are golden-brown. Turn off the oven and allow bread to sit in the still-warm oven another 10 minutes. Quick breads are fully cooked once they have reached an internal temperature of 190 degrees F or higher in the center. Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the bread - if it is 190 or higher, it is cooked through. The ideal temperature range is 190 to 205.
  4. Allow bread to cool for 30 minutes before releasing it from the loaf pan and cutting into slices.
  5. Cut thick slices of bread and enjoy!

Notes

  • Hazelnut meal can replace almond flour for a different nutty flavor.
  • Arrowroot flour is a suitable substitute for tapioca flour in this recipe.
  • Ensure the bread reaches an internal temperature of 190–205°F for proper doneness.
  • Allow bread to cool before slicing to maintain structure.
