Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch flax egg (1 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 Tbsp water)
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1/4 heaping cup unsalted almond butter
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2–3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 ¾ cup almond meal
- 1 ¼ cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1 ⅓ cup gluten-free oats
- 1/2 cup chopped raw walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (176 C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Prepare the flax egg in a large mixing bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes. Add the ripe, peeled bananas and mash them well with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Add the almond butter, avocado oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, sea salt, and almond milk. Whisk these wet ingredients to combine them.
- Add the baking powder, almond meal, gluten-free flour blend, and gluten-free oats. Stir these dry ingredients in until just combined.
- Stir in half of the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon. Top the batter with the remaining walnuts.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. The loaf is done when it feels firm, looks golden brown and crackly on top, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with few crumbs.
- Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully loosen the sides with a knife or use the parchment paper to lift it out onto a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Notes
- For best results, let the bread cool fully before cutting; it will be tender when warm.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
- Slice and freeze the bread for up to 1 month. Reheat slices in the microwave or toaster oven until warm.
