So…it’s not the first time I’ve posted a banana bread recipe on this site, that’s for sure. There’s the nut-free banana blueberry breakfast bread, almond butter chocolate chunk banana bread and cassava flour banana bread, to list just three. BUT, for whatever reason I always just assumed that to make banana bread truly what I wanted it to be, I had to add some sort of sweetener. The bananas couldn’t be enough, could they?
Well, as it turns out, banana-only sweetened banana bread can be just as delicious as any bread with added sweetener. My kids actually had no idea I did anything different with this bread and the two loaves I made were gone within a couple of days.
As usual, I had a few goals/rules in mind when approaching this bread. First, no added sweetener besides the bananas. Told you that one already, I know 🙂 Second, no nut butters. I LOVE nut butter and bananas together, and nut butters works really well in paleo breads, doing the job of eggs, oil, and even leavening in my opinion.
But, sometimes we need to let our nut butters rest, because let’s face it – using 1/2 or 3/4 cup of our precious (and pricy) nut butter on a banana bread isn’t always desirable. Almond flour is pricy enough, adding nut butters on and the loaf starts to seem…not worth it, perhaps.
With this recipe the ingredients are simple – way overripe bananas (the softer/browner the better for this one), coconut oil (refined or unrefined) a grain free flour mixture of almond and tapioca, cinnamon, salt, leavening agent. To get a bit of a better rise on this bread, I used a homemade paleo baking powder made of baking soda and cream of tartar, however feel free to use regular baking powder if you aren’t concerned with keeping this paleo in the strictest sense.
On the topic of rise, make sure you don’t make this bread (or any other quick bread) in a blender or with an electric mixer. Simply stir the dry ingredients into the wet until you get a lumpy batter with no flour spots – no need to try to make it smooth – in fact doing so will ensure you get a flat bread. The bread will have great texture and rise to it if you’re nice and lazy with your mixing 🙂
I went totally “naked” with this bread with just the addition of a bit of cinnamon for flavor, but feel free to add any of your favorite mix-ins, including chopped nuts, chocolate chips, blueberries, cranberries, or anything else you can think of. It’s a great basic paleo banana bread recipes that’s quite forgiving, versatile, and always delicious!
It’s perfect toasted with a little butter or nut butter (oops, nut butter again) and good totally plain, too. I recommend storing it loosely covered at room temperature for the first day, and covered in the refrigerator after that. You can also freeze the loaf and defrost in the refrigerator once reader to eat.
I hope you guys are ready to bake something super easy, tasty and satisfying! Preheat your oven and peel your bananas! Let’s go!
Hearty Paleo Banana Bread {Banana Sweetened}

Ingredients
- 4 small/med very overripe bananas or 3 larger ones, mashed well
- 4 large eggs room temp
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled to almost room temp
- 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour

Instructions
- Whisk together all dry ingredients and set aside. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a medium loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and mashed bananas, then vanilla and coconut oil until well combined.
- Slowly stir the dry mixture into the wet (don’t use an electric mixer - you will overmix the batter and prevent it from rising properly) just until moistened and no visible flour remains.
- Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until deep golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the loaf pan resting on a wire rack, then remove using the parchment paper to help you, slice and serve. Enjoy!

This looks great and I can’t wait to try it! I don’t have tapioca flour on hand though, is there a substitute?
dude, this banana bread is delicious. I can eat the entire loaf on my own.
I just added coconut flour instead and it’s phenomenal.
how much coconut flour? Very curious since we have an almond allergy in the family.
The rise on this loaf is amazing. Plus, it tastes great! The ripe banana is just enough natural sweetness. Thank you for creating this recipe.
i use arrowroot as a substitute..
What is the calorie count? Is the 248 kcal in one slice?
Another hit, Michele!
Wonderful!
I see coconut sugar but you didn’t mention the amount in the recipe 🙂
It’s cinnamon 🙂
Could you use something else besides tapioca flour?
dude, this banana bread is delicious. I can eat the entire loaf on my own.
Delicious!!
Are you able to list total carbs for diabetics. Thanks
Can you tell me what size loaf pan you used?
this might be a silly question. But can i add shredded zucchini in this as well?
Just made it with zuchinni squeezed as moisture out as I could. Then I added a tablespoon of coconut flour to soak up extra liquid. Turned out amazing!!
I don’t have almond flour but do have coconut. Could I substitute?
Those 2 flours have very different properties so subbing doesn’t work. Typically you’d use less than half the amount of coconut flour than almond flour in any given recipe, plus coconut flour requires additional liquid ingredients so it’s tough to know without testing.
HI Michelle, Thanks so much for this recipe! I cannot wait to bake it, but I’m on a plant based diet. Do you have this on your vegan section? I did not find it there. How can I substitute the eggs? I’ve heard about flax eggs but, I’m worried about the texture wise.
Thank you!
Made this tonight and it was fantastic! My family had no idea it was Paleo. I forgot the coconut oil and vanilla and added an extra banana. While it was still good, I would encourage you to follow the recipe. I’m going to re-make it next Sunday!! Ps. If you follow WW, it’s 11 points per serving.
Awesome! And glad you know it’s a forgiving recipe too 🙂
If you use unsweetened applesauce instead of coconut oil its only 4 points! woohoo!!
The banana bread is amazing:)!! I just made it last night and will try it for French toast tomorrow!! Best paleo banana bread I’ve made yet! Thank you for sharing!
So happy you liked it!
MIchelle,
Can I substitute arrowroot flower for the tapioca?
Yup that should work just fine 🙂
This is so tasty! And the texture is perfect to soothe my cake cravings. My body doesn’t tolerate tapioca well, so I subbed with sweet rice flour and it came out perfectly. This will be my go-to banana bread recipe from now on. Thank you!
So glad the recipe worked out for you, and very good to know the rice flour worked as well!
Just made this with 5 Thai bananas since they’re so tiny. I didn’t think it would be sweet enough but it’s so good! Will definitely make this again and share the recipe with friends!
So delicious! My family loved it and that made me happy. It is truly the best paleo bread ever! Thank you for sharing this recipe, Michelle.
Yay! So happy to hear you all loved it 🙂
Tried this today and it’s so delicious, truly a guilt-free treat, thanks for the recipe! I only had 1 1/4 cups of almond meal so I substituted the rest with tapioca flour but it still turned out so good! By the way, how long can the banana bread stand at room temperature and also in the chiller?
SO glad it worked out! I usually keep it at room temp for a day before refrigerating.
I made this and it’s just come out from the oven and looks amazing! Can’t wait to slice it to see how it turned out and of course taste it too. Thanks so much for this recipe! My husband and I have only recently decided to go paleo, so this banana bread is a godsend.
I hope you enjoy!
This bread is a game changer – finally a truly no added sugar bread that tastes great! For health reasons, I keep all sugars under 30 g a day. That means no added sugars at all most days. I make some zucchini muffins sweetened with bananas only, but the texture is much moister – not necessarily in a good way.
This bread had a divine texture and just enough sweetness – my taste buds have changed considerably and so this bread is plenty sweet for me. I had it warm with a dollop of almond butter – it was – to use my English sister’s word – gorgeous!
I will be making this as french toast with a bit of NH maple syrup, my splurge meal Christmas morning, when the family is eating traditional cinnamon rolls!
I need to remember using arrowroot flour with Almond flour to get a better texture when baking bread.
I’m thrilled you liked it! I swear by arrowroot or tapioca mixed with almond or coconut flour to get the texture just right. You’ll love the French toast!
Hi! Is it the same ratio. Arrow root or tapioca ??
I am new to paleo baking and have a question! I made this banana bread and also your pumpkin bread last week. I was amazed at how delicious they were..until day 3 when I cut a slice (i had gotten to the middle by then) and it was super sticky. Took a bite and it was almost tasteless but with a weird sticky texture. The banana bread had a very weird taste – kind of bitter. Am I supposed to put this in the fridge or what am I doing wrong? Both the breads seemed to be baked long enough!
I typically only have my bread out at room temp for about 24 hours, then I refrigerate and toast it a bit before serving. I haven’t had the sticky/no flavor issue with refrigeration. A bitter taste isn’t normal so I would get rid of it ASAP and refrigerate next time after the first day.
Thanks for replying! I will try again 🙂
I’m wondering if maybe her baking powder isn’t the culprit. I switched to Argo a while back and have been pleased with the results, though I frequently double on the baking powder + baking soda and add maybe 500mg of ascorbic acid to GF recipes to nudge them into rising a bit better. If Tabitha used an aluminum-based baking powder, that might explain the bitter or metallic taste.
Jeanne has a really good post on baking powders here:
http://www.artofglutenfreebaking.com/2012/11/baking-powder/
It came out amazing!! Thank you for the recipe.
could I use Bob Red Mill’s Paleo flour (combination or almond and coconut flour) instead of straight almond flour?
I’m sure you can, however I’m not sure of the exact measurement needed! I think it would be less due to the coconut flour in the mix.
I can’t wait to try this recipe! Wondering if I can use ghee in place of coconut oil? Would you recommend that as a good substitute?
Yes, I think that should work well 🙂
How long would you cook it for if you were using monk loaf pans?
Mini
Not entirely sure, I would check after 25 mins and see how they’re doing!
Hi I plan to make this over the weekend. But I wanted to make muffins instead of loaf bread. I’m assuming that will work just fine, yes? and how long do you think the muffins need to bake? Thank you.
That should work fine, I’d say they might need to bake 25 mins? You can always check with a toothpick when they look like they’re done 🙂
I cheated, added 3 Tbs brown sugar crushed cashews, doubled the cinnamon, vanilla and tripled the baking powder. And chopped one of the bananas so there’d be some chunks in the bread (Hawaii style) Shaka!
This was really tasty when I made it! I forgot one egg but that’s my fault, whoops. I do have a question though. I tried another banana-sweetened only bread today (a 21DSD lemon poppy bread) and the same thing happened where the bottom of the pan was really wet. I am guessing this is from the bananas. Am I using too much parchment paper? Maybe I should use a different sized loaf pan? I believe mine is 9×5. I took the loaf out of the pan after 20ish minutes to cool on the rack since I didn’t want it to just sit in liquid.
Thank you for all your recipes! I made your buffalo chicken dip for a Superbowl party and it was a hit 🙂
I know this was a year and a half ago, but for anybody wondering the same thing, I’ve found that an instant read thermometer is crucial for banana bread baking. The bottom will be the moistest spot, and will be the last part to cook completely. In the banana breads that I’ve made, the top sometimes gets pretty dark, but tenting with aluminum foil will help. When you’ve made a recipe in a certain pan once or twice, the thermometer may not be necessary, but I always feel more comfortable with it anyway.
This is truly EXCELLENT! My go-to banana bread from now on. I made mine in a mini loaf pan (made 3 generously sized mini loaves). Baking time was approx 35-40 minutes in my oven. It was done when the top was a rich golden brown. I also used about 3 medium-sized bananas (normal size bananas basically), as well as the paleo baking powder you suggested and it worked perfectly! Made it for guests – everyone loved it.
That sounds great! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for this amazing recipe, Michelle! I really missed banana nut bread, and this is a truly wonderful recipe. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your recipes. (-:
Glad you enjoyed!
Love the combo of tapioca flour with almond flour for the right texture! Great suggestion. What is the ratio that you would recommend if a recipe that doesn’t specify using tapioca flour? How much would you add for either 1c almond flour or 1/2c coconut flour? Thanks!
OMG. This recipe is Great! I didn’t have the tapioca flour so just used all almond, and no coconut oil so used vegetable oil,also no bread pans -muffins. Baked for 28 min.They are delicious. Sweetened by bananas, doesn’t require add’link sugar. Very moist.
So happy you enjoyed!
I LOVE this recipe!!! Comes out perfect every time. Actually, every recipe that I’ve made from your blog is delicious. My boyfriend and I are working towards a paleo based diet and your recipes makes that feel easy! I never feel like I’m “missing out.”
I don’t understand how this is the best banana bread I have EVER had but I’m totally okay with it! Even my husband loved it! Thank you for this recipe I will definitely be making this more!!
What an awesome recipe! I made this today in an effort to save my rapidly ageing banana and wow the finished bread is incredibly soft, moist and super yummy. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. x
Mine is gooey on the inside. I kept testing it and putting it back in the oven till it was in there for an hour and a half then started to burn. Still wet inside like a soggy sponge.
Sorry to hear that! Sounds like too much banana or too little flour. Even if you follow the recipe exactly this can sometimes happen since brands can vary and the bananas might have been bigger/smaller.
Thank you
Michele, have you ever measured your bananas? Are they about 1 1/2 cups or more or less? That could help with moisture balance. Thanks.
My loaf is done now, and it’s beautiful, but it’s a little too moist. I used 1 1/2 cups banana and 2 cups almond flour. Everything else is exactly as the recipe states. Do you think that’s more banana than you use?
This was quite soggy in the center! I put it back in a couple of times and covered it with foil and it eventually cooked through. Just tossed out the very center, which remained a bit gooey. I definitely could have made a mistake so I’ll try it again to see if it bakes up better. 🙂
Literally the most amazing banana bread ever. I cant believe its not gluten!!
So thrilled you liked it so much!!
This recipe is awesome. I love how there is no added sugar so I don’t feel as guilty when I eat about half the loaf! I added some raisins to the recipe and it was amazing. I’ve made so many of your recipes and tell friends about your blog all the time. Thanks for another great one!
So happy you love it!
I halved this recipe and made 11 muffins that turned out great! I cooked them for about 13 minutes in a coconut oil greased muffin pan. They still stuck, but I managed to get them out of the pan pretty much intact. Thanks for this awesome recipe!
Happy it worked out!
Not to be mean, but to save others from wasting their precious almond flour – I made this, following the recipe exactly, and it was an epic fail – one of those paleo “breads” that can’t cook through (too wet, not enough structure) no matter how long you cook it. I tried leaving it in an extra hour at 270 to try to fix the problem, and it was still just like pudding inside.
That’s unfortunate. My bread turned out perfectly like in the picture. It actually got done 10 minutes earlier than the minimum estimated time. However, I added an extra cup of almond flour and two heaping tsp of baking powder because I felt uncertain about the mixture being so liquidy. Anyways, I highly recommend retrying this recipe, making a few tweaks if you have to. The flavor is just the best.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it! I’ll have to try it with more almond flour to see if I like the texture better.
Mine just came out the same way. Like super thick almond pudding. I halved the loaf, lengthwise, and put it back in the oven. Will try again adding a cup of coconut flour. And, will try separating the eggs, whipping the whites, then folding those into the batter.
Just made this and mine came out super wet. I put it in for another 15-20 minutes and is still pretty wet!! Any tips??
Absolutely delicious, will now be my go to recipe!!!
How does this compare to your cassava flour banana bread recipe, Michelle? Is one more moist or fluffy? The recipe looks fantastic!
This one is my favorite, the cassava one is definitely doughier and chewier, since that’s the texture that cassava often provides. This one is fluffier and personally the one I’d go for if nuts aren’t an issue. Hope this helps!
I added 1 tblsp of maple syrup, and sprinkled coconut sugar and cinnamon on top before baking. It is in the oven now, will let you know how it turns out!! Smells delicious! My kids would have wanted a bit more sweetner which is why I added the maple syrup. I did use the electric mixer to whip up the eggs with the bananas, but just for a brief minute. I think it will make it much fluffier and lighter. We shall see. I also added a few chopped walnuts that I had left over in the pantry. Probably about 1/3 cup’s worth.
Hope it worked out!
Hi,
What can I substitute for tapioca flour?
I just baked this today and WOW. Best banana bread I’ve ever tasted!!! Plus it has a very pretty golden brown color. I added extra cinnamon and three tsp of maple syrup. It’s outstanding. Thank you so much for this recipe! 🙂
Thrilled you loved it!
Hi this is beautiful and so easy to make. Are you able to tell me about the Nutrition? I am watching my Protein, Carbs and fats and want to know what the Nutrition Calculations would be per serving or for 100gms? Are you able to help please?
Tom, the nutritional info is at the bottom of the recipe and I am assuming that since the recipe makes 10 servings the information is per serving.
Had a pile of ripe bananas to deal with so decided on this recipe. Used three bananas and three Tbsp grape seed oil instead of coconut oil (just lazy). Decided to make into muffins. Used regular muffin tins and got 18 big muffins and they are good!
Baked for 20 min.
I do find the texture a little chewy and may reduce the tapioca flour a bit next time.
The batter is very wet, and I was worried, but it baked up fine. The muffins rose beautifully also, something you don’t often see in paleo baking.
Whoops, meant to rate
So very happy you enjoyed them! I think this batter does SO well as muffins!
This burned on the top and sides while remaining gooey in the center. I cut the ends off and ate around the gooey middle, and it was pretty good! Wondering how to get it to cook through.
I recently made this myself again and also had this issue – I think my bananas were bigger than usual though! I remedied it by increasing the blanched almond flour to 2 cups and baking in a 9 x 5 pan. I’ll be updated the recipe!
This is very good – it rises like real banana bread. I was skeptical to leave out additional sweetener; it really didn’t need it! Whole family enjoyed. Thank you
Turned out perfectly! Thank you so much
my go to unsweetened banana bread! SO GOOD & you dont miss the sugar. Easy to make and keeps it shape (unlike most paleo breads). Yum!
Mine came out great. It’s a very dense bread so it feels like a meal. It satisfies my bread craving in a more constructive way than regular bread.
I love that there is no added sugar. Thanks for a great recipe!
Enjoy!
Can you use banana or coconut flour if you don’t have tapioca?
New go-to banana bread recipe! Best banana bread I have ever baked 😍
I love this recipe! I have been looking for a good grain free banana bread for a while and hadn’t found it until I tried this one. It’s hard to find a grain free bread with the right texture but this recipe is the perfect consistency and texture. I just switched the coconut oil out for butter (ghee) as I cannot have coconut and I made them into muffins so it would cook faster. They turned out wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!
My favorite banana sweetened banana bread! The first time I made it I added blueberries, this Time some fresh raspberries. Really yummy bread! Thanks!
Made this with arrowroot instead of tapioca flour because that’s what I had and it turned out perfect!! My mother in law is diabetic and she was so happy to have been able to eat banana bread that would make her blood sugar spike as this recipe is sugar and grain free.
Definitely going to make this again! 👍
This recipe is great! Loved that it was Paleo with no added sugar. It tasted great too!
I didn’t realize I was short on almond flour, so I subbed 3/4c ground flax to make up the difference. Mine was pretty runny (I had frozen bananas), so I also added 2Tbsp of coconut flour to help sop up the extra. I added some salt, thinking this recipe would need it. It doesn’t. Mine is delicious and moist, but the salt is a bit much!
My family love it!!
Great recipe, from now on this is a regular in my home.
It was my first time making a Paleo recipe and I’m so glad I did. It was delicious and held together quite nicely without being dry. I did add 1/2 cup of brown sugar without changing anything else because my kids are used to sweeter things. They loved it though which is a definite win. I will say it tasted slightly eggy in a couple parts, which I didn’t mind, but that could be because I should have mixed the egg better or cooked a few minutes longer although the toothpick came out clean. I will be making this one again as we eat banana bread often in our house. I also forgot to use parchment paper but greased the pan with olive oil and it worked fine.
P.S. If I wanted to add some oatmeal should I add more oil or anything? I do like oatmeal in my banana bread and am only trying to stay away from wheat but I wanted to try the recipe as is before changing anything. Thanks!
The best banana bread I’ve ever made and super easy
So happy you liked it!
I just made this tonight because it’s the holidays and, with my various dietary restrictions, I can’t partake in sweet things! I chose this recipe because I have celiac disease, am lactose intolerant, and have a huge sensitivity to soy products. My only complaint is that I wish it was sweeter. I wanted to add some granulated sugar but didn’t because I didn’t know how much to add! Any suggestions? Even without the added sugar, it’s delicious and I’ll definitely eat all of it!!! 🙂
Do you know if this recipe freezes well? I am trying to make ahead of time for our Thanksgiving trip.
This bread is awesome! I used ghee instead of coconut oil and it worked just fine! Keep the amazing recipes coming! Thank you!
I had left over VERY ripe 2 bananas and one regular and made this last night and it was DELICIOUS and perfect. I followed your recipe exactly and I truly believe parchment paper makes a huge difference. I probably cooked the bread a bit longer because when I stuck a knife in the center it wasn’t coming out clean, so therefore, I cooked it until the knife was clean. I absolutely LOVE your recipes and have started trying more of them on my healthy eating journey. Just trying to watch my protein, fats, and carbs. You have a wonderful site!!! Thanks, and I also enjoy you IG
Hi I was just wondering if you could freeze this bread.
You can freeze most things…if packaged well. It’s air around the food that gives it that “freezer burn” taste….so squish/suck the air out of your ziplock before putting it in! (Tip: super useful to use a sharpie to date/label frozen foods; also, that plastic bag is reusable!)
This was delicious! Added chopped up dates only. Yum!
Just made this morning! Turned out wonderful!!! I love how the dough filed up my whole loaf pan. Most recipes make for a shorter bread loaf. Excited to have a healthy banana snack on hand this week and to share with my family. I bet they won’t notice it’s “healthy”! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
This was so delicious!
Wow!!! This has such a great texture-I’m impressed and grateful. Absolutely perfect. I’ve been keto for 9 months and now coming off of it this was perfect with just a hint of banana. My family (not keto) would have rather it have been a bit sweeter. I made muffins, and they came out wonderful! I didn’t have tapioca, so I used 1/4 cup + 2tsp Pamela’s potato starch and psyllium mixture (Pamela’s Not Guar Not Xantham). Just great. Not mushy at all. Thank you!
And I made them as muffins which drastically reduces your cooking time- 25-30 min until toothpick comes out almost clean. Same temp. I just made these again today and added about 2/3 cup Lakanto monk fruit sugar replacement (I beat this into plain eggs until frothy) so they were a bit sweeter for my non-keto non-paleo family members. They like them alot.
Hi dear,
Omg.This was the best banana bread recipe that I ever made.😍😍😍.i made it thrice .tried with bananas and plantains .i like bread recipes which are sweetened by banana only.this is a perfect fit😍😍😍😍so much love
This was another delicious recipe. I added a handful of chopped walnuts and fresh blueberries, and changed the almond flour ration to 2 cups. Thank you! Tou help make paleo fun!
I’m preparing to go make this recipe right now… I have no doubt that it will be delicious and nutritious as are all your recipes.
All my family loved this banana bread! Even my grandpa who thinks I use “weird” ingredients
I made this a few times and everytime we loved it. My kids even liked it. It is really the best we have had that is Whole30 compliant, which says alot!
Could you clarify if using 1/2 tsp of Paleo baking powder (1 part baking soda to 2 parts cream of tartar), do you still use an additional 1 tsp of baking soda in this recipe?
I used both; because one is a stand alone ingredient; the other is part of a recipe to substitute for [corn based] baking powder. Came out super fluffy—no strong or bitter taste from too much baking soda.
Oven temperature would be easier to find it but where your cup time I’ve ingredients. I had a hard time finding it FYI
Turned it great and my kids are gobbling it up! I used 3 eggs and didn’t have tapioca so subbed 1/4c arrowroot and 1/4c coconut flour.
Love this. Just made it, and I’m sooooo happy. It’s really moist and delicious!!! I added some chocolate chips and it really compliments it. It rose really nice, and love that it’s a delicious healthy alternative to store bought. And the fact that no sugar is added is another major plus, didn’t need it
Perfect! I was really considering adding some sugar because I was nervous it wouldn’t be sweet enough. So glad I didn’t because it is perfectly sweet.
Yesterday, I found myself with an emotional black eye and 4 black bananas and decided to bake. Your recipe was the starting point for some fabulous banana espresso dark chocolate chip muffins that helped me get my day back on track. Thanks for the inspiration.
My first gluten free banana bread. I was skeptical. It was delicious!
Happy you liked it!
Perfect. I used really ripe bananas. It was so tasty. Crisp on outside tender and moist in middle.
Seriously this is the best banana bread I’ve ever had. I think I’m going to make it again after leaving this comment. It’s moist on the inside with the perfect crunch on the outside. I added 1-2 tbsp of raw honey + 1tbsp of coco flour because I was worried my bananas were ripe enough. It was perfect! I also topped the load with stevia sweetened chocolate chips once the batter was in the pan. Divine!!
Hi,
This recipe looks perfect for my needs & I am just about to make it. Would it be possible for you to estimate the volume (in cups) of banana you would recommend, since they vary so much in size? I am guessing that might help with the variation in moisture people are seeing.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this recipe. It is amazing!! I have made countless GF breads over the years and this is, by far, the very best. It is plenty sweet with just the bananas. Texture is perfect! Also, LOVE your banana blueberry bread as well. Thank you again!
Fabulous recipe! Great texture and flavor. Very moist as well. I used part oat flour (1 cup)and part brown rice flour (3/4cup) in place of the almond flour. Will definitely make it again.
Hi! Can I substitute tapioca flour for arrowroot powder? Would the measurement be the same?
Yes same measurement
Had a great time making this with the kids this morning, and it turned out perfect. They are loving the banana bread! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi! I’m new to grain-free baking, and since one of my boys has a nut allergy, I need to sub out the almond flour – I have either tapioca or arrowroot on hand. Would either of those work and if so, in what ratio? Thanks!
I don’t know if those will sub in well here unfortunately. I do have a cassava flour banana bread that you might want to try:
You could try green banana flour or cassava flour….
This loaf is phenomenal – even with my mistake of 1/2 tsp of baking soda not the full tsp. Great excuse to make it again! I did a small sub of 1/2 cup oat flour to cut down the amount of almond meal. Turned out great! Thank you!!
Could you sub a different oil/fat in place of coconut oil? I have nothing against it, just curious 😀
I have almond flour but no tapioca – is it okay to use just about two cups of the almond flour?
Made it for the first time last week(well, my 1st time making banana bread ever:)) and it turn out great! This banana bread is what cozy fall is all about in a bite!!!
I made it for the first time last week (well, my 1st time making banana bread ever:)) and it turned out so good! This banana bread is cozy fall season in a bite!!!
I love this recipe! I add nuts and carob chips and make it into muffins!
Thank you
Perfect. Such flavor and texture. I am so glad I found it. I have made it 3 times now.
I made this with small twiks, 2 eggs cause that’s what I had and 2 cups of almond flour only. It’s yummy! Love it and my 1.5 y/o boy loved it! Thank you
This recipe is amazing! A new staple in our house.
Followed the recipe exactly. Not overly sweet. I wish I’d added a couple more bananas to give it a sweeter flavor. But I love giving my kids a sugar free snack. Awesome.
Another fantastic recipe! I can’t stop eating this banana bread! You would never know it it Paleo. I love it!
I baked the Cinnamon Raisin Paleo Breakfast Bread and it turned out great. I must admit the picture of mine could rival yours. I really, really loved it. So did the ladies in my Crossfit class. The only thing left to say – YUM!!!
I don’t mean any offense but if you are a real baker do you not try this recipe do not waste your almond flour for those of you who like it kudos.
Very yummy! Surprisingly light, fluffy, sweet, and satisfying! I doubled the recipe, less one egg. My 15 year old enjoyed it, and it was a treat for grain-free, sugar-free, legume-free (ad nauseum) me! I would definitely serve this to guests—Thank you!
Forgot to rate via stars!
Love this recipe! Have made 2 loaves which turned out perfectly. I usually cut and freeze individual slices. I’ve also made French toast with this bread…topped with maple syrup and fresh blueberries! Yours are my most trusted recipes- everything is delicious!!
This recipe worked great – thanks! I did it just as written (except for adding a handful of chopped pecans) and I was very pleased that it avoided the usual pitfalls of paleo breads: texture and rise were both good. So many paleo bread recipes end with a wet, puddingy center, but not this one. Also, it was plenty sweet without extra sweeteners, just as you promised.
Wow this is the best Paleo banana bread ever, so hearty but nice and moist too. I added maybe 2 tsp of maple syrup because my bananas weren’t super duper ripe and about 1 tbsp of oat milk. So delicious! Thank you for this awesome recipe 🙂
I have made this recipe a few times now for my family and it does not disappoint. It is probably the best paleo banana bread we have made and I love that it has no added honey or sweetener. A tip that I have implemented and you could try it too if you have a little extra time is to place the bananas in a microwaveable bowl with a lid loosely placed on top. Heat the bananas in the microwave for about 5 minutes to draw out the bananas liquid. Place a strainer over a bowl or small pan and strain the natural banana juice for about 10-15 minutes. Place the juice on the stove over medium heat and reduce the liquid to about half. Add this “banana syrup” to your liquid ingredients. It adds a little extra banana flavor and a little extra natural sweetness.
I have made this at least 10 times now and I don’t stock tapioca flour so I usually use a half cup of coconut flour instead (in addition to the almond flour). It works fine, but today I used cassava flour and it works better! lighter and banana flavor comes out great. Terrific loaf to have at home for toasting in the morning and as a post-workout snack. Love it and so easy
I added some sugar (not much) and chocolate chips (Good Life dark)… it is moist and excellent… I do think the chocolate chips and little bit of sugar really help and I added salt too. I had to use hazelnut flour because my store was out if almond flour and I can’t tell a difference. Oh, I added walnuts too.:)
This banana bread is the bomb, this is so yummy and so easy to make, I love the fact that has no sugar and tastes great, will be a regular here now, I have put the photo up on my Insta tagged you in on it, cheers
My second time making this and it is delicious , this time I had some frozen raspberries in the freezer so added them to the top before baking came out lovely, thanks for great sugar free recipe
I made this last night. It was amazing and tastes just like the “real thing”. Thank you for the great recipe!
This bread is amazing! It has become a staple in our house. I add pecans to it because it makes it even better! I live so many of your recipes. We need more bread recipes with no sugar. 🙂
A most delicious confection, sweet enough and enjoyed by all who sampled it. I added in dried cranberries and some walnut pieces..and now I’m going to do it all over again.
This is the only banana bread recipe I use now.
I love this recipe!!!
Im cutting carbs lately and wondered if anyone added lakanto or erythritol for a little bit more sweetness? I love without but my kids need a little more.
It was great! I made mine in mini muffins for the kids and did chia/flax seed add-ins. Delish:)
I made this today, and it was FANTASTIC! I needed it to be but free, so I subbed Tigernut flour for the almond flour, and it worked beautifully. The texture was perfect.
This was the most authentic like gluten (and grain!) free banana bread I have had! The only substitution I had to make was using an equal amount of potato starch for the tapioca flour. I think next time I will try caramelizing the bananas first before mashing! Mmm.
Can I substitute something else for the tapioca flour?
Can you add walnuts to this
My entire family loves this banana bread. I’ve had some disappointments with paleo style baking before, but this recipe is really simple, and makes a super moist and yummy loaf of bread.
Is there a way to make this nut-free for school? My son can’t live without this recipe!
Like so many others, I LOVE this bread. So so so SO good. and no sugar! I wanted to add ONE TIP for anyone making it the first time:
The moistness of the batter will vary depending on the size & ripeness of your bananas. If it is too moist the bread will either not bake or be too soggy. My solution: stop adding the ‘moist’ ingredients when the batter is just wet enough – something like the moistness of pancake batter (if not less). You might wind up with extra banana/ eggs combo (tonight I had about a cup extra), which you can freeze if you’d like…or use to make a small batch of muffins. If your batter/ dough is too liquid-y and its too late, try adding extra tapioca, arrowroot or cassava flour.
Also, I use arrowroot rather than tapioca and love it. Texture is great!
Thanks for this delicious, user-friendly recipe. My kids can even make this and it turns out great every time!
Thanks for this delicious user-friendly recipe. My kids can even make it and it turn out great every time.
The easiest and best tasting GF banana nut bread recipe I’ve made and had! I substituted tapioca flour with arrowroot and used unrefined coconut oil for the added hint of flavor. I’ve made this a handful of times and no one can tell its GF until they ask, why is it so light and fluffy rather than dense and I tell them the ingredients!
My tips are that mash the bananas and eggs separately before mixing it together and adding the oil and vanilla. Also, in order not to over mix, I use a dinner fork rather than a whisk for the wet ingredients. I mix all the dry ingredients and sift them with a whisk to get rid of any lumps. This makes for a smoother and quicker mixing of the wet and dry.
It was super moist and delicious. Net time I would add some walnuts just to give it an extra texture. But it’s great just by itself.
I used all almond flour ( with the combined amount of two flours specified in the recipe as suggested by Michelle) and it turns out great. I also added 2/3 c of walnuts. Next time I am thinking of sub coconut oil with avocado oil because the latter has lot less saturated fat. Has anybody tried it before?
So incredibly moist and delicious. Just sweet enough!
This may be my all time favorite paleo banana bread. The flavor is amazing, it’s the perfect density and you’d really never know it was paleo-friendly. Obsessed with this!
This is delicious! Even my sugar and wheat living husband loved it. It was half gone an hour after making it. Thank you!
Can’t wait to make this recipe! I don’t have tapioca flour, what would I use to substitute?
Hope someone already told you that arrowroot is the best sub for tapioca flour.
Really an amazing recipe! I would never have guessed it’s gluten (or sweetener free)! I was trying to use up a bunch of apple bananas (9 small bananas) and was afraid I might overload the batter with moisture so used more tapioca flour (maybe 3/4 cup total) and it came out wonderfully. Not soggy but chocked full of bananas with a great texture. Me and my friends really enjoyed it. Thanks so much!
Regarding my comment above – I used nine apple bananas and about 1 1/4 cups of tapioca flour for a double batch (not single).
It came out perfect, this is my favorite banana bread recipe that I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot!
Excellent recipe! Thank you for sharing!!! It should one of my favorite things to bake 🙂
I’ve made this wonderful banana recipe a number of times and never tire of it. It’s easy to make, tastes delicious no matter what I put into it (cranberries, walnut pieces, frozen cherries, pumpkin seeds, etc.) and my family and friends love it, as I do. Guilt-free too!
I’ve made this wonderful banana loaf recipe a number of times and never tire of it. It’s easy to make, tastes delicious no matter what extras I put into it (cranberries, walnut pieces, frozen cherries, pumpkin seeds, etc.) and my family and friends love it, as I do. Guilt-free too!
Hi! We absolutely love this recipe! Thank you for sharing it! Question- could I sub the almond flour for coconut flour? Would I have to add something else to make that work? Or perhaps 1/2 almond flour and 1/2 coconut flour? Thanks!!
I forgot to add the oil and was amazed it was a hit with my kids! We added dark choco bits and they were so fluffy and devoured! Thank you for another guilt-free healthy & delicious recipe!
Love this bread!! However, I am thinking I have a sensitivity to eggs now. What can I use as a substitute for the 4 eggs in this recipe?
I made this once and forgot where it came from. when I looked online, I couldn’t believe how many ‘sugar-free’ recipes had other added sweeteners in it. I have often thought banana bread was sweet enough already, so your recipe is a major winner here. of course, I’m making it again 🙂
Looks amazing! But what can I use instead of tapioca flour? Can I just use all almond flour or something else?
I never comment on recipes but this one is amazing. I substituted grapeseed oil for the coconut oil and we made muffins instead of a loaf. They were the best non-traditional ingredient banana muffins I’ve made! Thanks!!!
Have you tried making this with a flax egg?
The bread is different if you are not used to paleo recipes and you can taste the egg. The low number of stars is only because I do not know if I would make it again because it was not something I am used to. Maybe when I am more comfortable with dropping all sugar from my diet. I am not a huge fan of coconut oil, can you use butter instead? I did use butter, but my bread dropped after I finished baking it. Would you use less butter than coconut oil or would you bake it longer?
I don’t have any tapioca flour what will happen to the texture if I leave it out?
This is the BEST!! I feel so good about making it for the boys and ake sales at the school.
Lol, “cool completely before slicing”, that was never gonna happen. I pretty much ate it straight out of the oven and it was fantastic! The family destroyed it. Gonna make this often. I wonder how it would freeze, but it won’t likely make it to the freezer EVER!
Did this make only 1 loaf of banana bread? 4 eggs for 1 loaf? wow
Hi, I made this and I was SO yummy, the only thing is it’s a little wet in the middle. I baked it for 55 minutes on 350.
I can’t wait to try this. I follow you on instagram:)
I made exactly according to recipe, adding chopped walnuts and chopped apricots. Yummy. Great as toast w dab of butter.
Fabulous banana bread! The banana taste was amazing!!Texture was great for Paleo baking! Will definitely be making this over and over again!! (I used 3 extra-ripe bananas and just a pinch less cinnamon.)
Best healthy banana bread I’ve ever made. So moist on the inside, and a beautiful browned crust on the outside. I added chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips to mine and it is a new family favorite.
Just pulled these out of the oven & they are great. Love that there is no added sugar & they are grain & dairy free.
This recipe looks amazing! So excited to try it. Could I sub cassava Flour for tapioca Flour?
Can I add mixed nut butter to the batter or do I need to make any changes to the recipe?
I almost ate the whole loaf by myself while it was still warm. Maybe it was because it’s been years, but it was delicious and moist.
Thanks!
Dear mother of God this was good. I love that there’s no sweetener and you can’t tell. It tastes like regular old banana bread. I added chopped walnuts and flax seed for protein and fiber.
This was a super delicious, moist recipe. I will definitely make again. I did add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup.
Love this! Easy and delicious! Definitely use very ripe bananas! 🙂
This was yummy and I added in toasted coconut and choc chips to trick my kids into thinking it was filled with sugar.
Yummy! I made this the first time following your recipe exactly and it was delicious! Love that there’s no sugar. The second time I made it I used what I had on hand: ghee instead of coconut oil and tigernut flour instead of almond flour Still yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
This banana bread is amazing. It is moist, holds together great, and is nice a filling. I love that there is not additional sweetener. I doubled the recipe, added a handful of chocolate chips and everyone loved it! This will definitely be my go to banana bread recipe.
i made this recipe as muffins and it was just not good. Very dry and lacking flavor.
The most delicious gluten free banana bread ever! Thank you!
I’m excited to try this one!! Thanks!
There are too many eggs in this recipe & I followed it exactly. It’s very eggy custard like not like an actual muffin. Next time I’ll try 3 eggs.
Is there a sub for tapioca flour?
This bread is INCREDIBLE. I am new to Paleo, and this is the best banana bread I’ve ever had, Paleo or not. My husband and I both loved it.
Simple and delicious recipe! Best banana bread ever.
I LOVE this recipe! I’ve tried several other Paleo banana bread recipes and most of them turned out way to brick-like in texture! This one is perfect! I will admit that I did add 1/4 cup of coconut sugar so that my family would eat it without complaining. Delicious! 🙂
I made this the 3rd time this month! I thought I’d add chia seeds (about TB) and I accidentally forgot the eggs – it still was amazing – just fell apart a bit. Wanted to share bc it’s Nice to know there’s an option!
This bread is amazing delicious! We’ve make once a week because we usually have ripe bananas. Plus, we love that it doesn’t have any other sweeteners. Kid Friendly. Thank you!
I used arrowroot instead of tapioca flour because that’s what I had, and it was delicious!
SO yummy! Moist inside, slightly crunchy on top! I didn’t use tapioca flour and just used 2 cups of almond flour instead. Also only used two eggs instead of 4. Turned out perfect. Will defs make again!!
By far the best recipe for Paleo banana bread I have tried. It came out very moist and yummy. Even my mother who is 88 and is hesitant to try anything not mainstream really, really liked it! Thank you!
This is the most delicious banana bread I’ve ever had! It’s no too sweet but super moist. It stays fresh for a few days after which is great. I can’t wait for my bananas to start going brown so I can make it again!
Seriously so good! I also didn’t have arrowroot or tapioca, but I did have a gluten free flour blend, so I used 3/4 cup of that and 1&1/2 cups of almond. I used butter in place of the coconut oil, since we aren’t dairy free and I added a scant 1/4 cup of date sugar (dates whirled in the food processor). My kids love it and have no idea it’s no sugar added or gf. Thank you for the recipe!
Made this morning with 4 very overripe smallish bananas. Smelled amazing while baking and tastes just as good. This will replace my other paleo banana bread recipes! Thanks.
Hi, I’m new to gluten free baking and I’d like to know any secrets for a successful outcome. Some say to let the mixture sit a few minutes before baking. Also, you mentioned a medium size bread loaf pan. Would you send the measurements please. Thanks so much. My 2 year old granddaughter can’t have gluten and I want to drop off your delicious sounding banana bread!
Is there a sub for tapioca flour? I have cornstarch if so is the amount the same?
Yes I do believe you can use the same amount but haven’t tested it.
Amazing!
Thx for sharing, Michele—live your philosophies, BTW. <3 ;0) I’m interested in understanding how this and other recipes may be impacted by ingredient variations — such as different GF grain mixes and additions like pumpkin… if only I understood the chemistry ratio rules of baking.
This banana bread is delicious! Hearty but moist. Stayed fresh in the fridge in an unzipped ziplock bag for several days. The only reason any was left after several days is because I made 2 loaves! I’ve been eating Paleo for a year and paleo running momma has perfected paleo banana bread. This morning I’ll be trying out her Paleo Waffle recipe 🙂
This is definitely the best no sugar recipe I’ve made. I keep bananas in the freezer for smoothies/baking and for this recipe I selected ones that had turned fully brown so natural sugars were fully developed. Excellent flavor and texture. This is my new go-to recipe for banana bread!
This recipe does not work!!! So bummed I wasted money on the ingredients used in this bread. I make banana bread at least 1x/week and decided to abandon my tried-and-true recipe for this one…big mistake. I cooked for almost 90 minutes and the center remained raw and the outside began to burn.
GREAT! I have made this recipe many, many times and it has never disappointed. I’ve added extra bananas just because I had them and it was so moist and delicious. Try this recipe!
This recipe was AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing it.
Love this recipe! My kids and I did add some chocolate chips … it’s perfect! Thank you!
I googled paleo banana bread and came across your site. I made this bread yesterday and it is really good! I loved the idea of no added sugars, and it was the right amount of sweetness. I have noticed some paleo desserts are a bit eggy textured so I went three extra large eggs, and didn’t have tapioca flour so used arrowroot in place of it. I added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts because I love nut in it. It is moist and a perfect texture, thank you!
Yes, I made this banana loaf and it’s delicious. I added raisins and walnuts. I absolutely recommend it!
I wanted to make banana bread, but I wanted to change it up and try to do it without sugar. Oh My, this is unbelievable! So yummy, and turned out perfect. Now let’s see if my family notices that I used different ingredients. Happy Banana Bread Quaranteening!!!
This was delicious!!! I have such a sweet tooth but have been trying to eat less sugar. This hit the spot!
Is it possible to use arrowroot flour instead?
I’ve been using this recipe for almost 3 years and it has been such a lifesaver! Aside from being a “mental cheat,” all the ingredients are Whole30 compliant and I have a slice of it every morning for breakfast. (I’m not a good breakfast eater, but this recipe is sooo good and encourages me to eat in the morning!) I make it every week, and today I took a leap and added a 1/2c of cocoa powder to it and WHOA. Chocolate cake for breakfast?? Thanks for such a great recipe that’s kept me on a healthy eating streak!
I can’t find at what temperature to bake it!
I have tried several paleo banana bread recipes. This one is the best and husband approved! The favor and consistency are perfect.
Absolutely trashTastes likes egg. Absolutely trash🤮
Absolutely trashTastes likes egg. Absolutely disgusting🤮😤
Have you tried this with flax or chia eggs?
Have you used frozen bananas for your bread? BTW- all your recipes are super delicious
how long does the bread last
Wow, amazing! I made this and the cassava flour banana bread. Both are great but this one won hands down for texture and consistency. The almond flour and tapioca combo – brilliant! The cassava was alomst as good, just a little chewy – which is consistent with cassava flour recipies. Can’t wait to share this recipie with my dairy-free, gluten free, sugar free niece!
I have two internet rules: 1. Never read the comments, 2. unless it’s a recipe, then always read the comments. Glad I read the comments! This banana bread turned out delicious! It was so moist I almost thought it wasn’t fully cooked – but it was! It rose so nicely and turned a lovely golden. My husband liked it so much he went and promptly bought more bananas. I made it exactly to the recipe. We love our banana breads with peanut butter. 😋
I followed the recipe and measured everything exactly. The flavor was fine but the bread remained “wet” inside even though a toothpick came out clean. Is this the correct texture? I will try making it again, any suggestions to correct the amount of moisture?
I made this yesterday and just tried a slice right now to “really” test the bread (best way is to let sit overnight and taste after a few hours so you give quick breads a chance to settle in their flavors and textures). I am an experienced conventional baker but this was one of my first tries at paleo baking. Here are a few thoughts if it matters to anyone reading the comments (I read through pretty much all of them here to gain experience and learn from others):
1) Texture for me is great – thanks to another reviewer who commented on making sure that the batter is of a certain texture. I used a dinner fork to mix my wet & dry ingr and left the final batter VERY lumpy. I might try next time to make sure my batter is even a bit drier (or simply add 2 tbspns of coconut flour which should dry up the ultra moistness in the bread).
2) I spooned and leveled all my flours and am not sure if that is how its done with paleo flours (I always bake with weighed ingredients) – Michele, pls consider giving weights and measurements – this would make it so easy for bakers to get the correct consistency of all your baked goods.
3) My 8.5×4.5 pan baked for about 75-mins (of which the last 30-mins were tented). The top got a deep brown crisp and the middle was cooked through properly.
4) Sweetness is fine overall with using 3 large’ish bananas. I might add a small amount of added sugar if I am making for the family. My bananas were extremely ripe and mushy – the flavor is amazing!
5) I am def going to try other recipes from your blog Michele – you’re doing great work here. Thank you in advance and look forward to enjoying this bread and many others!
I made this last night using unsweetened applesauce instead of the eggs (about 3-4 tbsp per egg), and realized it needed way more baking time because of the extra liquid. I probably baked it total for about 1 hr 15 min until I got impatient 🙂 and took it out. At that time, the toothpick in the center came out almost clean. But when I went to cut a piece after it cooled, it was all still mushy inside. But really good! I’m calling it a “banana bread pudding” and eating it anyway! Next time I’m going to use much less applesauce or try the gelatin egg method, to cut down on the liquid. Thanks for the recipe!
Complete wonderful
I made this bread! I used gluten free flour instead of the tapioca because I couldn’t find that. It was delicious!!!
This was my favorite Paleo Banana bread recipe so far! No sweetener needed and it wasn’t flat like other’s I have made (it rose to the top of the pan! I added some walnuts and cinnamon on the top and it was delicious! Perfect post run treat!
That was soooooo good! Love it. I added chuncks of dark chocolate yum yum
I made this with 2 flax eggs and 2 regular eggs and it didn’t rise at all. It was maybe 2 inches tall- not like the photo at all! I’ve never had issues with flax eggs in baking before but it was the only change I made here and the end result definitely wasn’t as planned. (But still very tasty!)
My kids didn’t like. Too much egg. They actually said it tasted more like egg than bread.
Have you ever worked with Bob’s Red Mill paleo flour blend? I have a bag of that and I have no idea how to use it. It seems like this recipe might be a good one to try it with, maybe subbing the blend for the combined total of flours called for in this recipe? I’m very interested to hear your thoughts. I have been a GF baker for years, but I am new to grain free baking. We have some strange food allergies and now I am having to learn!
Excellent texture and taste! Moist and delicious. Thank you
I’d like to try this in my new bread machine. Do you know if the setting would be quick bread and 1 1/2 lb loaf size?
This recipe came out amazing! I also made the cinnamon raisin bread and then I bought the cookbook. Thank you so much for these recipes! I can enjoy eating good food and still feel good after eating it!
Wow. This bread is incredible! I used Krusteaz gluten free flour in place of the tapioca flour and added a dropperful of liquid stevia to the batter. So yummy!! God bless you for spending the time to put together this recipe, seriously made for a happy day for me and my kiddos!
I could tell my bread was done when I inserted a toothpick into the center however the longer it sat even after it was cool it turned out extremely wet. Too wet to eat. What did I do wrong?
This receipy is lovely. deffinitly recommend it and about to cook it again.
has anyone substituted coconut flour for the tapioca flour?
Best banana bread i have ever made.
I used lots of nuts, substituted arrowroot for the tapioca flour ( that’s what i had) and added 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum.
What could I use in place of Tapioca flour?
Such AMAZING bread! Perfectly sweet and SO moist!
OMG – SO GOOD! I added blueberries – even better. Thank you so much for this recipe!
This recipe deserves a 5/5!!!!! It is not always easy finding a good paleo-friendly bread recipe and this one was spot on. I made it for my husband, and we finished half of the bread in one evening. One change to recipe I made was to remove the baking powder (since this isn’t paleo) and substitute it with 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar. It came out perfectly. Love your content!
Booh hated this recipe. Baked it for like 2 hours and it still didn’t get solid in the middle. Will never make again. Booh
Great information. Thanks! Best regards.
This is so good. I love that it is sweetened only by the bananas and it satisfies my sweet craving. It doesn’t last long in my house. One thing, the tip to be careful not to overstir is a good one!
Your recipe is amazing….I didn’t have almond flour at the time I was making the banana bread but I replaced it with all purpose flour and it was delicious. I will make it with almond flour next time. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!!!
