Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 3 large Free Range Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Banana (approx 3 large) over-ripe, mashed
  • 2 cups Almond Meal
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil melted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (or 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat fan-forced oven to 180°C. 
  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk eggs. Add mashed banana and liquid coconut oil, whisk to combine.
  •  Add in almond meal, baking powder and cinnamon and combine well. 
  • Pour batter into a lined loaf tin. 
  • Bake in oven for 40- 45 minutes or until cooked through. Test with a skewer; the skewer will come out clean when cooked through. 

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
  • Serve warm, toasted or chilled.
Make It Personal:
  • Add almond flakeson surface prior to baking and place baking paper on top (to stop almond flakes from burning).
  • Stir through ½ cup chopped walnuts in batter.
  • Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla powder to batter.
  • To give your banana bread a little extra sweetness and a boost of extra banana flavour add an additional ¼ cup of mashed banana to mixture, totalling 1 ½ cups.
  • If you have a sweet tooth add an extra 1/4 cup mashed banana to batter and top with a sliced banana on top or serve with honey.
  • Instead of cooking as a loaf of banana bread you can spoon batter into muffin trays and cook for half the time.
  • For a fun decoration layer the top of you uncooked Banana Bread with thin slices of banana before baking.
Recipe Tips:
  • Be careful not to cook the banana bread at a heat that is too high as this will cause the top to burn and the middle will be undercooked.
  • This recipe is suitable to freeze.
  • Try not to over mash the banana.
  • Be sure to use baking powder that is free from gluten and aluminium.
Sensitive to Nuts?
  • Substitute almond meal for ½ cup coconut flour + 2 tablespoons coconut oil. The loaf will turn out smaller so use a smaller loaf tin or make into mini muffins.

    Hi there, I see coconut oil in the ingredients but not in instructions, do I just add in? Also should it be 180 degrees fan bake for 45 mins? Seems like it may burn?

    A very easy and healthy banana bread. My husband was a bit underwhelmed initially as he’s a sweet tooth, but I noticed him sneaking another slice!

      Glad the recipe was enjoyed! You can adjust the sweetness by adding natural sweeteners of choice such as pure maple syrup, honey or rice malt syrup. Or serve with a drizzle of maple syrup 🙂
