You can even make your own almond flour from ground almonds at home. (See the notes section in the recipe below for specifics.)
Your best bet, if you want to make almond flour bread recipes, is to find a recipe that has been developed for it. The recipe will take into consideration all of almond flour’s unique properties to give you great results.
Healthy Banana Bread Recipe
I couldn’t resist making this a chocolate chip almond flour banana bread (with a chocolate drizzle to boot), but if you are feeling something more simple, it’s also delicious without them.
Prepare the banana bread as directed. Slice the bread, then lay the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen slices to an airtight freezer-safe storage container or ziptop bag. This makes the slices easy to thaw whenever a craving strikes!
As this chocolate banana bread with almond flour proves, you really can’t have too many banana bread recipes! I can’t wait for you to try it too.
Mom's Almond Flour Banana Bread
Feel free to toss in whatever mix-ins you enjoy! I think chopped walnuts, pecans, raisins, or shredded coconut would be tasty in this moist almond flour banana bread. You could also try peanut butter chips with a peanut butter drizzle on top for a scrumptious peanut butter almond flour banana bread.
Because almond flour is dense, grain free, and does not contain gluten, breads made with almond flour do not rise very much, especially when compared to breads made with wheat flours. Check to make sure that your leavening agents (baking soda and baking powder) are active. Almond flour needs the leavening agents to achieve any rise.
While both are made from ground almonds, almond flour typically uses blanched almonds (almonds with the skin removed) while almond meal uses almonds with the skin on. Sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably, which is confusing. If you aren’t sure which one to use, almond flour is generally the safest bet. Almond flour is what I used in this recipe. I haven’t tried almond meal yet, but I think it would work nicely (heads up: you’ll see the specks of almond skin in the final loaf).

Yes, this is a dairy-free, gluten-free banana bread recipe as written. If you need the bread to be dairy free, make sure your chocolate chips are dairy free (if using).

I'm the author and recipe developer here at and of The Well Plated Cookbook. I adore both sweets and veggies, and I am on a mission to save you time and dishes. WELCOME!Almond Flour Banana Bread is naturally gluten-free and tastes just as delicious as a traditional recipe! It’s the perfect way to use up any ripe bananas you have on hand.
Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread
This gluten-free banana bread has the perfect banana flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s dairy-free, Paleo-friendly, and makes a delicious snack or breakfast on the go.
It’s best to use finely ground blanched almond flour for this banana bread recipe, rather than almond meal (which has brown specks in it), for the fluffiest results. Fine almond flour already creates a very moist, dense quick bread, so using almond meal will potentially make the loaf a little too wet in the middle.
Maple syrup adds a light sweetness to this bread, but you can also use honey instead. Make sure your bananas are ripe with plenty of brown spots, so they will have a natural sweetness.
Banana Coconut Bread
If you prefer to use butter instead of oil, you can replace the olive oil with melted butter, or try using melted coconut oil, instead. Add in some chocolate chips for extra sweetness, or chopped walnuts or pecans, for added texture.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray, then press a piece of parchment paper into the pan. The oil will hold the paper in place, so it won’t wiggle when you add the batter later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana with almond flour, eggs, maple syrup, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and olive oil. You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or extra spices, like a pinch of nutmeg or ginger if you like, too.
Moist Almond Flour Banana Bread With Oil
Note:There’s no need to separate wet ingredients from dry ingredients in gluten-free baking since there’s no risk of over-mixing. However, you can whisk the almond flour, salt, and baking powder together first, if you’d like to break up any clumps that way.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and sprinkle on any toppings you like. (This is optional; I added a few chocolate chips.)
Bake until the loaf is golden on top and feels firm in the center, about 55 to 60 minutes. You can test the center with a toothpick, to make sure the bread isn’t wet in the middle. Because this grain-free bread is so moist, it takes a little longer to cook than a traditional recipe.
Healthy Banana Bread (whole Wheat)
Let the bread cool completely in the pan, or use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan and let it cool on a wire rack. Once it’s reached room temperature, it’s ready to slice.
Storage Tip: Because it’s so moist, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze individual slices tightly wrapped in the freezer if you’d like to save it longer. Thawing it overnight in the fridge will help it soften up again before you’re ready to enjoy it again.
Almond flour requires more eggs than all-purpose flour, and you must use a recipe that calls for almond flour. (Don’t make substitutions and assume they will work!) For example, coconut flour is NOT a swap for almond flour. If you’d like to bake with coconut flour, try my coconut flour banana bread instead.
Almond Flour Based Banana Bread Recipe
Oddly enough, using granulated sugar in this recipe makes it more mushy. When you use 3/4 cup coconut sugar the texture will be softer and more mushy, but the flavor is great!
If you need egg-free banana bread try my Vegan Almond Flour Banana Bread instead. I don’t recommend using flaxseed meal (or flax eggs) as a replacement, because the eggs provide structure in this recipe. In general, beware of making substitutions with gluten-free baking, because it’s not as forgiving as using all-purpose flour.
If your bread sinks in the center, it could be because your baking powder isn’t fresh enough, or because the center didn’t cook quite long enough. Almond flour is quite dense, and as a result, this loaf won’t puff up as much as a traditional banana bread made with white flour would.

Nutrition information is for 1 of 12 slices with no optional toppings. This will vary depending on how thick or thin you slice it, so this is just an estimate and not a guarantee.
Almond Flour Banana Bread Recipe (gluten Free)
I use olive oil in this recipe because it doesn’t thicken when it comes into contact with eggs that are cold from the fridge. If you would prefer, you can use coconut oil instead, or you can leave it out if you don’t mind a slightly different texture
