Banana bread is one of my favorite things to bake. I've made high-protein banana bread, double chocolate banana bread and even espresso banana bread, among many other banana bread recipes. I recently discovered the wonders of almond flour banana bread and all I can say is wow! This moist almond flour banana bread recipe has become my new baking obsession.
This almond flour banana bread recipe is delicious and nutritious. The loaf turned out so rich and moist, with a wonderful crumb and a touch of sweet almond flavor. Almond flour is a great source of fiber and healthy protein, and it's naturally gluten-free (learn about the health benefits of almond flour). Then there are the healthy bananas and pure maple syrup that add just the right amount of sweetness (check out the health benefits of bananas and learn about the health properties of maple syrup).
To make this easy banana bread recipe, you'll need only one bowl and the following gluten-free ingredients: overripe bananas, eggs, pure maple syrup, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt and almond flour. The semisweet chocolate chips are optional. You mix up the batter in a single bowl then bake the loaf until a toothpick comes out clean. There may be nothing quite as comforting as the sweet smell of banana bread baking in a cozy kitchen!
Serve this high-protein and high-fiber almond flour banana bread recipe as an easy breakfast or for brunch, as a warm afternoon snack or for dessert any night of the week. So much simple goodness in one easy, delicious loaf. I hope this wholesome banana bread recipe becomes your new baking obsession, too!
