Almond Banana Bread
This Almond Banana Bread recipe takes traditional banana bread to the next level! It uses almond extract and sliced almonds to add a subtle almond flavor to this moist banana bread.
Servings: 10 slices
Ingredients
- 2 bananas ripe
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted, room temperature
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
For the glaze:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp almond milk
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9x5 bread pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang for easy removal. At this point, you should also melt the coconut oil and set it aside to cool.
- Use a fork to mash the bananas into the bottom of a bowl, removing as many lumps as possible.
- Add the eggs, oil, milk, and almond extract to the bowl with the bananas and whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together, then stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Last, stir the almonds in by hand.
- Pour the batter into the bread pan and bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Leave bread in bread pan for 10 minutes, then remove the bread and place it on a cooling rack.
- While bread is cooling, prepare the glaze: Place sliced almonds in a small skillet and toast them for 5-7 minutes, or until they're slightly golden brown; remove from the heat. Meanwhile, stir powdered sugar, milk and extract together with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze overtop, then sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Slice and enjoy!
