ALMOND FLOUR BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line metal 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper or leave non-stick as is. Spray only bottom and lower 1" with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, add bananas and mash with a masher. Then add eggs, sweetener, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt; whisk until combined.
• Add almond flour and stir and mix gently with spatula to combine.
• Pour batter into previously prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Remove almond flour banana bread from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool off for 10 minutes. Remove bread from a loaf pan and let it cool off completely. Slice with sharp serrated knife - works best with breads to keep them from falling apart.

ALMOND FLOUR BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper so that two opposite sides of the paper overhang like handles. Coat the pan and paper with nonstick spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until very smooth (a hand mixer is a nice shortcut). Double check that you have 1 ½ cups and if not, adjust accordingly. Whisk in the eggs, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla until smoothly combined. Sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over the top. Whisk to combine.
• Sprinkle the almond flour and flaxseed over the top. With a rubber spatula, fold the batter, just until the almond flour and flax disappear.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20 minutes, then loosely tent the pan with foil. Continue baking about 20 to 25 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean and the loaf is very dark golden at the edges and top. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then with the parchment paper "handles" gently lift the loaf onto the rack to finish cooling completely before slicing.
• For the chocolate drizzle: In a small microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second busts, until the chips are almost but not completely melted. Remove from the microwave and stir, letting the residual heat melt the chocolate the rest of the way. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and let the chocolate set a few minutes. Slice and enjoy!

BANANA ALMOND BREAD IN A BREAD MACHINE (CLEAN)

Steps:

• Put the items into the bread machine in the order suggested by your manufacturer. I actually prefer the wet ingredients first for quick breads because otherwise the flour sometimes doesn't get mixed all the way inches.
• Set the bread machine for quick or sweet bread.
• Let it go!
• You can use different nuts, add some raisins, whatever you want. I might also add a little cinnamon next time.
• NOTE: Sucanat is dried cane sugar. You can also use half sucanat and half brown sugar.
• In order to make this a clean recipe, choose organic. My flour is milled from grain I purchase from non-gmo sources, but organic works too.

ALMOND FLOUR BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases. Slightly oil the paper cases with oil spray. Set aside.
• Peel, mash the ripe bananas on a chopping board with a fork. It's ok if there are bits of banana left. It adds moisture to the muffins. Measure 3/4 cup and place it in a mixing bowl.
• In the same mixing bowl, add eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil - make sure the oil is not too hot, or it can 'cook' the eggs. Add the stevia drops or granulated sweetener if you want to boost the sweetness of the muffins (read note 1). Whisk until the eggs are well beaten and a consistent liquid batter forms.
• Stir in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spoon to gently incorporate: almond flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. The batter should be thick, moist, and look slightly grainy.
• Fill each muffin cup with about 1/4 cup of batter, smoothen the top with the back of a spoon and sprinkle sliced almond on top of each muffin.
• Bake the muffins on the center rack of your oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a pick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
• Cool the muffins down on a wire rack for a few hours before serving.
