Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas Make sure they are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • 2 cups almond flour Look for finely ground almond flour for the best results.
  • 3 pieces eggs Room temperature eggs work best to help with a smooth batter.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Opt for organic varieties to enhance flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt A pinch helps balance the sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Choose pure vanilla for an aromatic upgrade.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Optional: Adds warmth and a cozy spice vibe.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they reach a smooth consistency, free of lumps.
  3. Add the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. This bread can be customized by adding chocolate chips or nuts. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for a week.
