Ingredients
Scale
- 3 very ripe medium bananas mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups packed blanched fine almond flour
- ½ cup flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
- 2 tablespoons extra chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add the almond flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Gently fold in ½ cup dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Ensure your almond flour is finely textured for optimal results.
- Almond milk can be substituted with any milk of your choice.
- For best flavor and moisture, allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for better sliceability.
