Almond Flour Banana Bread

Step 1

Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350·°F. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line it with parchment paper so there's an overhang on the sides to easily remove the bread once it's baked.

Step 2

Add the butter (or coconut oil) and mashed bananas to a large mixing bowl and stir together with a fork. Add the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla and stir again until no yellow streaks remain.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top evenly to each corner. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes then tent with foil (to avoid overbrowning) and bake another 15-20 minutes (55-60 minutes total). A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 6

Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes then use the overhang of the parchment paper to lift the bread out of the pan. Finishing cooling on a wire rack. Serve room temperature or warm with butter or almond butter.
