  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup sub with honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour finely ground for best results
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips or your favorite; optional

Instructions

  • Mash the banana in a large bowl. Add the eggs, olive oil, maple syrup and vanilla, and whisk until well combined.
    3 medium bananas, 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the wet ingredients, then whisk until no lumps remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
    2 cups almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 55-60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from heat and cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Pro tip:  Use finely ground almond flour for the best possible texture.  Do not use almond meal as it includes the almond skin and will yield a grainy texture.
  • Use dairy free chocolate chips to make this recipe dairy-free and paleo, or they may be omitted altogether.
  • Store gluten-free banana bread at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.  It may also be frozen for up to 3 months!
