Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 ½ cups (280g) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (30g) coconut flour
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup (80ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans, or ¼ cup (45g) dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but still a bit chunky, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Beat together until combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, combining gently to avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  6. If using, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Start checking at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally with almond butter or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. If batter is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. Watch baking time carefully to prevent drying out; tent with foil if browning too fast. Let bread cool completely before slicing for best texture.
