Vegan Almond Flour Banana Bread
This Vegan Almond Flour Banana Bread uses ripe bananas combined with almond meal and arrowroot starch, creating a gently textured, naturally sweetened loaf. The addition of cinnamon and vanilla enhances its warm flavors, while apple cider vinegar interacts with baking soda to provide lift without eggs. The bread has a moist, soft crumb with a slightly cracked crust, suitable for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients
- 3 banana fresh or thawed from frozen, very ripe
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour aka almond meal
- 1/2 cup arrowroot starch
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the bananas well-- you should have a little over 1 cup of mashed banana. (Note: if using bananas that were previously frozen, do not drain the liquid from them when they thaw-- that moisture is important to the overall texture of this bread.)
- To the mashed bananas, add in the almond meal, arrowroot, coconut sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon and stir until a relatively smooth batter is formed.
- Stir in the vinegar last, so that it can react with the baking soda, then immediately pour the batter into the lined pan. Smooth the top with a spatula then bake at 350ºF until the top of the loaf has begun to rise and crack, feeling firm to the touch, about 45 minutes. All the loaf to cool completely before cutting.

Notes
- The center of this eggless banana bread may sink slightly but should be fully cooked and have a bread-like texture.
- Use very ripe bananas, fresh or thawed without draining, to maintain moisture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter up to 3 days or refrigerated up to 10 days.
