03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs lightly. Add melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can affect texture.
05 - Fold in chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
07 - Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is incredibly close to traditional banana bread without any of the grain heaviness
  • You can enjoy it warm from the oven without derailing your entire day's macros
02 -
  • Overmixing will make your bread dense and tough just fold until the flour streaks disappear
  • The toothpick test is your friend if it comes out wet give it another 5 minutes
  • For strict keto reduce to one banana or use pumpkin puree with banana extract instead
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more easily and create a more uniform texture
  • Let the bananas sit for a few minutes after mashing to release their natural sweetness
