Yield: 10 slices

Gluten Free Banana Bread

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 50 minutes

Additional Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 medium ripe bananas (the riper the better!!!)
3 large eggs
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup maple syrup (optional, exclude to make low carb)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
2 cups almond meal

Instructions

Heat Oven - Heat oven to 180C | 350F (or 160C | 320F fan forced)
Prepare Loaf Pan - Lightly grease a loaf pan and line with baking paper or use silicon loaf pan (to save yourself the extra hassle).
Combine Wet Ingredients - In a large bowl, combine the bananas, eggs, maple syrup (if using) coconut oil and vanilla extract.
Add Dry Ingredients - Then add the almond meal, baking powder and cinnamon powder to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
Bake - Pour or spoon the mixture into the loaf pan and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Allow to Cool - Let cool in the loaf pan for 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool for a further 30 minutes.

Notes

The 30 minutes additional time is the time you need to leave it in the baking tin to cool down. You should cool it a bit further on a wire rack before eathing, but if you wanted to have a sneaky piece while it is still warm, then it should be fine.
