Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Swerve sweetener or erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 Ripe bananas (preferably small, mashed)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate, large bowl, add the Swerve sweetener, chia seeds, and unsweetened almond milk. Stir the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 4

Add the mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the chia seed mixture in the large bowl. Mix them until fully combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently into the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Step 10

Allow the banana loaf to cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
