3 eggs
3 overripe bananas
200g almond flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp monk fruit erythritol sweetener (optional)
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
-Pinch of salt
1-2 tbsp sliced almonds (optional)
1/2 banana, sliced lengthwise (optional)
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- Lightly grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or cooking spray. Alternatively, line the pan with some parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add bananas. Mash them well with a fork.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, monk fruit erythritol sweetener, cinnamon and salt to the bowl. Mix until combined.
- Slowly add in almond flour and baking powder while continuing whisking. Mix until the almond flour is incorporated into the batter.

- Remove banana bread from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Wait for the bread to cool completely before slicing and storing in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
- If you want to make it pretty like in the photos, you can decorate the top of the banana bread with half a sliced banana and sliced almonds before baking. Feel free to top it with any other toppings you like.
- I only used 1 tbsp of monk fruit erythritol sweetener and it was sweet enough for me, but feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener according to your preference.
- You may substitute monk fruit erythritol sweetener with any other sweetener of choice.
