Notes

Tips
  • You can use a stand mixer or just a large bowl with a spatula for this recipe, either will work.
  • If you don't have almond butter, try using peanut butter or cashew butter.
  • For gluten free, replace the flour with 191 grams (scan 1 ¼ cups) gluten free flour blend.
  • Add in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips for a burst of chocolate in every bite.
  • Add unsweetened fine shredded coconut on top before baking for a toasted coconut almond banana bread!
  • Add 85 grams of chopped almonds if you like nuts in banana bread.
  • High Altitude — Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
