Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- If you haven't done so already, grind 2 cups of almonds in a food processor to create almond meal/flour. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs until they are well beaten.
- Add the melted coconut oil (if it's solid, melt it gently in a microwave or on the stove), vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the almond meal, cinnamon, salt, and chopped walnuts. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add the sparkling water to the batter and gently fold it in. This helps to give the bread a bit of lift and a lighter texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Once cooled, slice the banana bread and serve. Enjoy your refined sugar-free treat!
Tips:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe; the riper they are, the sweeter your bread will be.
- You can substitute coconut oil with any healthy fat like olive oil or avocado oil if you prefer.
- For a nut-free version, replace almonds with oat flour and omit the walnuts.
- Adding a handful of dark chocolate chips can make the bread more indulgent while still keeping it refined sugar-free.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds together well.
This refined sugar-free banana bread is not only easy to make but also delicious and nutritious. With wholesome ingredients and no refined sugars, it offers a healthier way to enjoy your favorite treat.
