Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth with a few small lumps remain.
  3. Add 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup erythritol to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups almond flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best natural sweetness. Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Almond flour moisture can vary, so baking time may need adjustment. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use coconut yogurt. Nuts can be omitted or replaced with seeds for nut-free option.
