Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil or high-quality vegetable oil
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 ½ medium or 2 large bananas)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 ½ cups (230 grams) almond flour

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk and Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 9×5-inch loaf pan
  • Cooling rack
  • Toothpick

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously grease the bottom and sides of your loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, then coat it well with almond flour. Don’t skip this step — it helps prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey. Whisk until blended together. Add the eggs, and whisk until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  3. Add the mashed bananas, baking powder, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and whisk to combine.
  4. Finally, add the almond flour to the mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, gently stir until the flour is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center of the loaf feels springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Place the pan on a cooling rack and let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes, as it’s quite delicate while warm. Run a butter knife along the edges to loosen it, then gently tip the pan to release the loaf. Slice and serve once cooled.
