- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, low-carb sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add the eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir well until a thick batter forms.
- Optional: Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
- Transfer the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Once completely cooled, slice the Keto Banana Nut Bread into desired portions.
