Fragrant, delicious, and comforting, this keto banana bread is perfect as a tasty breakfast or a filling snack.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray for the pan (I use avocado oil spray)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 large bananas (well mashed, 1 cup; three bananas or 1.5 cups for a paleo version)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (or honey for a paleo version)
  • 2 cups almond flour (8 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (or a pinch of any other salt)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (or a tablespoon of baking powder, gluten-free if needed)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a small loaf pan (8.5 X 4.5 inches) with parchment paper strips, leaving an overhang on each side of the pan. Lightly spray the lined pan with oil.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla, and sweetener.

  3. 3

    Gradually whisk in the almond flour, cinnamon, kosher salt, and baking soda. Whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Using a rubber spatula, transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Gently tap the pan on the countertop to distribute the batter evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake the bread until browned and set, and a toothpick inserted in its center comes out dry, 30-40 minutes (40-50 minutes if using three bananas and honey).

  6. 6

    Using the excess parchment paper as handles, carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack. Carefully remove the parchment to allow air to circulate.

  7. 7

    Cool the bread completely on the cooling rack for about 2 hours. Slice it into 12 slices and serve.
