    A flourless banana bread that tastes like classic banana bread?  Really?

    And how about grain-free, dairy-free, no oil or refined sugar? Paleo and sweetened with bananas only?

    Yep, just 9 ingredients, one bowl and you’ll have a warm loaf (or two mini-loaves) of banana bread in 30 minutes!

    How To Make Flourless Banana Bread:

    Step 1 – Gather the ingredients.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease two mini-loaf pans (I prefer coconut oil).

    ingredients for flourless banana bread.

    Baker’s Tip – Use a potato mashed to puree the bananas.  This is also a great method for mashing avocados in guacamole!

    Step 2 – In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir to combine all the ingredients.

    Step 3 – Scoop the batter into the two loaf pans, evenly, and smooth out the batter on the tops.

    Step 4 – Bake for about 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the banana bread loaves are lightly browned.

    Step 5 – Let cool for 15 minutes and remove the banana bread from loaf pans. Slice and serve.  It will last about 3 days stored in the refrigerator.

    Did you notice the only sweetener is the bananas?  Bananas are a wonderful source of many nutrients, such as Vitamin B-6, Vitamin C, and potassium!

    When I am seeking variety, this recipe sometimes becomes flourless banana muffins.  The same recipe, just pours the batter into muffin cups, bake for about 20 minutes.  If you are a muffin lover, be sure to try these Gluten-free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins too!

    Make the mini-loaves and you’ll have breakfast today and tomorrow.  Are you someone that likes the crusty exterior?  Yes, well, when you make two loaves there is more crusty surface area!  So important!

    Optional Add-Ins For Your Flourless Banana Bread:

    • Raisins
    • Mini-chocolate chips
    • Chopped walnuts (or your favorite nut)
    • Fresh blueberries (frozen may turn batter blue)
    • Cinnamon
    • Dried cranberries

    Baker’s Tips:

    1. Do not use a blender or electric mixer to blend as it may make the resulting bread, dare I say, flat!
    2. Mix the batter until it all comes together and is still a little lumpy and you will be rewarded with delicious banana bread.
    3. If using fresh blueberries as an add-in, gently fold them into the completely mixed batter.
    4. Use a potato mashed to puree the bananas.  This is also a great method for mashing avocados in guacamole!

        Hi Siri! Hmmm… not sure if just the yolks will work. Have you had success with just egg yolks in baked goods before?
