This almond flour banana bread recipe is made a little different than my gluten-free banana bread recipe because it is made with almond flour. Baking with almond flour is different than baking with traditional wheat flour or gluten-free flour blends made with rice. It has a mild nutty flavor, and baked goods made with almond flour have a thicker and denser texture.
Almond flour is also packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Almond flour is also gluten-free, grain-free, and is low in carbohydrates.

Ingredients In Almond Flour Banana Bread
Bananas: The bananas not only gives this bread it’s flavor, but also is key for the bread’s moist texture. The bananas are the reason this bread does not need oil.
Almond flour: It is essential for the texture to use super fine blanched almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is ground almonds that still has the skins. Using almond meal will change the texture and flavor of the banana bread.
Eggs: They are important in binding the ingredients together and for the bread’s texture. For a vegan option, substitute flax eggs.
Baking powder and baking soda: These leavening agents provide lift and fluffy texture.
Salt: Helps balance and enhance the flavors.
Cinnamon and Pure Vanilla Extract: These ingredients are what make this banana bread so flavorful.
Sweetener: I have used both granulated sugar and pure maple syrup for this recipe. However, you can use other sweeteners like honey, coconut sugar, or even a sugar-free option like monk fruit, xylitol, or erythritol in this recipe.
