# What goes in:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 1/4 cup coconut flour
03 - 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
04 - 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
05 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
06 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 tsp salt
→ Wet Ingredients
08 - 3 large eggs, room temperature
09 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
10 - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
11 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
12 - 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (approximately 200 g)
→ Optional Add-ins
13 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
14 - 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
# Cooking steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold together using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
05 - Gently fold in chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread evenly and smooth the top surface.
07 - Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Begin checking at the 45-minute mark.
08 - Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- You get that tender, moist crumb you thought keto baking could never achieve
- The almond and coconut flour combo creates texture so good nobody guesses its grain free
02 -
- Overmixing will make your bread tough and dense, so stop as soon as ingredients are combined
- The toothpick test is crucial because keto baking can look done while still being raw inside
03 -
- Room temperature eggs incorporate much better into the batter
- Weighing your bananas ensures consistent results every single time
