Tips to Make Nutty Almond Flour Banana Bread

Use very ripe bananas: The riper, the sweeter! They should be spotty and soft.
Don’t overmix the batter: Gently combine until it’s just mixed; it helps keep your bread fluffy.
Adjust the sweetness: Depending on your bananas, you might not need all the honey or syrup. Taste as you go!

Variation

Want to switch it up? Add some chocolate chips for a melty surprise or swap in different nuts like pecans. Going vegan? Use flax eggs instead of real eggs—just mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water.
