Say hello to the yummiest banana bread you may ever have. I’m not very sold on “healthy” versions of banana bread – but this recipe is undeniably delicious and irresistible! We’ve made it on repeat and cannot get enough of it.

Ingredients You Need

Only the simplest of ingredients are needed to make this recipe. You can also make easy swaps to adjust the ingredient list if needed! Here’s everything you need plus some helpful substitutions:

Almond flour: I love using this specific flour because it makes a really light banana bread and has lots of nutritional value. You can also swap for oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
Oats: I’ve used whole oats or quick oats – both work!
Bananas: using super ripe bananas is key for flavor and a moist bread!
Peanut butter: Use natural unsalted peanut butter for best results. You can also swap for almond butter or make it nut free by using sunflower seed butter.
Coconut sugar: a great natural sweetener! Can swap for brown sugar.
Vanilla: for flavor!
Eggs: make sure they’re room temperature so they don’t affect the melted butter.
Butter: I like using vegan butter to keep things dairy-free but you can also use regular unsalted butter.
Cinnamon: for spice and flavor!
Chocolate chips: Use dark or semi-sweet. Whatever you fancy!
Baking soda & powder: for the bread to rise.

Make Some Muffins

Don’t wanna wait an hour for the bread to bake? Then let’s make this bread into muffins! It taste exactly the same – just in smaller form and bakes much faster.

Follow recipe as is, then scoop batter into greased muffin tin – fill 3/4 of the way with batter. Bake at 350F for 15-18 minutes – let cool for 10 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Simple and FAST! 🙂

Helpful Recipe Tips

• Swap peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter if desired.
• Make sure bananas are very ripe for extra sweetness.
• Add walnuts, nutmeg, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture if desired.

What should bananas look like for this recipe?
You can use ripe yellow bananas, but traditional recipes call for bananas to be really ripe — with brown spots or nearly all brown. Bananas will also get aromatic when really ripe. 

We absolutely LOVE this recipe and make it on repeat! Whether you make it into muffins or bread I can promise you will enjoy every bite.
