Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup almond flour or ground almonds,
150 g - ½ cup mashed banana 2 small or 1 large, very ripe, 120g
- 3 eggs large
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted 28g
- ¼ cup granulated sweetener 50g
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup walnuts, crushed 30g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 356 Fahrenheit.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs together with the mashed banana and melted butter until smooth.
- In another bowl, stir together the dry ingredients - almond flour, erythritol or sweetener of choice, cinnamon and baking powder. Add to the bowl with the egg/banana/butter mix and blend until well-combined.
- Last, stir in the crushed walnuts, reserving some to sprinkle over the top of the bread.
- Line a small (7 x 3.5 inch / 1 lb) loaf tin with parchment paper and fill in the dough. Sprinkle the leftover walnuts on the top.
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Check the cake at minute 30. If the top is already brown enough, loosely place aluminium foil over it so it does not burn.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing.

The walnuts are optional. You can use any other nuts in this recipe or even replace them with sugar free chocolate chips.
A pinch of nutmeg would also work well.
If you only have a regular size 9 x 5 inch loaf tin, you can double the recipe. In this case, increase the baking time to about 55-60 minutes.
One slice of keto banana bread weighs around 60 grams.
