Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, and pure vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended.
In another bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Low Carb Paleo Banana Bread, either on its own or with a spread of almond butter for extra flavor.
