Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make banana bread with almond butter are simple pantry ingredients. You don’t need eggs or dairy. It’s a naturally vegan banana bread recipe full of banana and almond flavor.
Ripe Bananas – the riper, the sweeter the bread will be. You can use yellow bananas too, but increase the amount of sweetener by 1/4 cup, or the bread won’t be sweet enough. Smooth Almond Butter – make sure you stir well the nut butter in the jar to combine the oil staying on top with the nut butter. Then, measure the amount called by the recipe. Crystal Sweetener of Choice – we used coconut sugar, but any sugar works as soon as it’s not a liquid sweetener. I noticed that liquid sweeteners in egg-free baking make the crumbs dense and gummy, so I don’t recommend that. Almond Milk or Olive oil or melted coconut oil if not oil free Vanilla Extract – for flavor. All-Purpose Flour, white spelt flour, or white wholewheat flour. The recipe won’t work with almond flour or coconut flour. You may have success with a gluten-free flour blend containing gums, with a different texture, of course. Baking Powder and Baking Soda – for a perfect fluffy texture. Ground Cinnamon – for more flavors.
Optional Add-Ons
