A moist and tender gluten-free banana bread made with almond flour and coconut oil, perfect for cozy mornings and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
  3. Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix gently but thoroughly until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free oat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
  5. Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet banana mixture using a spatula, mixing just until the flour disappears to avoid overmixing.
  6. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs, starting to check at 50 minutes.
  9. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid gummy texture. Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. For dairy-free, use flax eggs instead of regular eggs. Nut-free option: replace almond flour with oat or sunflower seed flour and omit walnuts. Freeze sliced bread for up to 3 months.
