### **Step-by-Step Instructions for Almond Flour Banana Bread**
Now that we have all our ingredients ready, let’s walk through the process of making this delicious, naturally sweet, and moist **Almond Flour Banana Bread**.
#### **Step 1: Preheat the Oven**
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven reaches the ideal temperature before you place your banana bread in.
#### **Step 2: Prepare the Baking Pan**
Next, grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter, coconut oil, or non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, you can line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess paper on the sides to easily lift the loaf out later. This prevents the banana bread from sticking to the pan as it bakes.
#### **Step 3: Mash the Bananas**
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas until they are smooth and free of large chunks. The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. You can also leave a few small chunks for extra texture if you prefer.
#### **Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients**
In a separate bowl, whisk together the **eggs**, **almond milk**, **melted coconut oil or butter**, and **vanilla extract**. Make sure everything is combined evenly.
#### **Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients**
Now, add the wet ingredients to the mashed bananas and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the **almond flour**, **baking soda**, **cinnamon**, and **salt**. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is well incorporated. If you’re adding any mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
#### **Step 6: Pour the Batter into the Loaf Pan**
Once the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. The batter will be thick, but that’s perfectly normal for almond flour banana bread.
#### **Step 7: Bake**
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the bread after 50 minutes and check for doneness.
#### **Step 8: Cool and Serve**
Once the banana bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the bread set and make it easier to slice. Once cooled, slice the bread into thick pieces and enjoy!
