1 cup Mashed Banana (about 3 medium bananas)
3 Large Eggs
3 tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil (or melted butter)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups Almond Flour
3 tablespoons Flaxseed Meal (golden or brown)
3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (sugar-free if desired)
1/3 cup Chopped Walnuts
2-3 tablespoons Granulated Sweetener of Choice (optional, coconut sugar or erythritol)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and optional sweetener. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix mashed bananas, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until you have a consistent batter.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 40-50 minutes. If the top gets too dark, cover with foil, lower the temperature to 325°F (160°C), and continue baking until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool on a rack for 1 hour before slicing.

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but it won’t be gluten-free! Adjust the amount slightly since almond flour is denser.

How do I tell when the banana bread is done?
Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s ready.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake it a day in advance or freeze it for later. Just defrost and enjoy!
