**Gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup chopped nuts or pecans
4 really ripe bananas mashed well
2 tbsp local honey OR Stevia to taste
2 whole eggs, 3 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
-In a separate bowl, add the mashed bananas, eggs, honey (OR other sweetener), and vanilla and mix well.
-Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until combined. Normally with breads or muffin recipes, you don’t want to overmix, but since there’s no gluten here, mix to your heart’s content. The muffins won’t get gummy or icky.
-Fill greased muffin tins, baking cups, mini-loaf pans or big loaf pans about 3/4 full. Bake muffins for 23-25 minutes and loaves for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-Let cool slightly and enjoy with a pat of almond butter, coconut oil or your favorite other nut butter. Delicious!
Oh my goodness! I am a huge fan of all banana bread, so I decided to give this recipe a shot. I was prepared for it to taste a little “healthy” or dry or something…but I swear I couldn’t tell the difference AT ALL! I was so happy with the final result 🙂 It was absolutely DELICIOUS!
This is definitely a recipe everyone should try! 🙂
