🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 8x4 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. This is super important; nobody wants their bread stuck to the pan!
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/2 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener), 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined to avoid any pockets of bitterness or saltiness. Nobody wants a suprise there!
In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (for moisture!), 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter, 2 teaspoons banana extract (trust me on this one!), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Ensure the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined for a smooth batter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to a tough bread. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, but highly recommended for added flavor and texture). Who doesn't love a little crunch?
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chopped nuts on top for a nice presentation.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it after 45 minutes – ovens vary! If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Patience is key here; slicing it too soon can result in a crumbly mess.
Slice and serve! Enjoy your Keto-Friendly Banana Bread Cloud warm or at room temperature. It's delicious on its own or with a smear of butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
📝 Notes
For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted coconut oil or butter.
Add a tablespoon or two of chia seeds for extra fiber and moisture.
Adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking. Taste the batter before baking and add more if needed.
