Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium overripe bananas or 3 large bananas, mashed well
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend up the sides for easy removal.

  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas and eggs until smooth.
    Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil. Whisk everything together until well combined.

  3. Add the Dry Ingredients

    Add the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt directly to the bowl.
    Gently stir the ingredients together until combined. Avoid using an electric mixer because overmixing the batter can affect the texture and prevent the bread from rising properly.
    Allow the batter to rest for approximately 5 minutes so it can thicken slightly.

  4. Bake the Banana Bread

    Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
    Bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
