Description

Imagine biting into a slice of warm, comforting banana bread, its delicate aroma filling the air. This recipe makes that dream a reality, offering a simple way to enjoy a classic treat with a uniquely satisfying twist. Crafted from a single bowl, the process is as effortless as the result is delicious.

The base of this bread features the subtle nuttiness of almond flour, complemented by the binding magic of psyllium husk powder. This combination creates a texture that's both tender and surprisingly light, a welcome contrast to the dense texture sometimes found in similar recipes. The star of the show, fresh banana, lends its unmistakable sweetness and moistness, amplified by a touch of extract to ensure a robust and authentic banana flavor in every bite.

Scattered throughout the loaf are morsels of sugar-free chocolate chips, adding bursts of rich, dark chocolate that melt into the bread as it bakes. These chocolatey gems provide a delightful textural contrast, a subtle crunch against the soft interior. The bread slices beautifully, making it ideal for a quick breakfast, a midday snack, or a simple dessert.

Its inherent moistness means it stays fresh for days, although it's unlikely to last that long! For an extra layer of indulgence, try spreading a slice with a creamy nut butter or a generous smear of butter. The richness of these additions perfectly complements the banana bread's subtle sweetness.

The psyllium husk powder works wonders in this recipe, providing structure and lift, resulting in a loaf that boasts a beautiful height and satisfying crumb. While olive oil provides a lovely base, feel free to explore different oil options like coconut or avocado oil to impart subtle variations in flavor. Likewise, the chocolate chips can be swapped for other delightful additions, such as chopped nuts or dried fruit, allowing you to customize the bread to your personal preferences.

Given its moisture-rich nature, this banana bread is best enjoyed within a couple of days if stored at room temperature. However, it freezes beautifully, allowing you to savor it for up to three months. Simply slice and freeze, then reheat individual portions in the microwave for a warm, comforting treat any time you desire.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and any desired spices until well combined.
    2.
    Add the eggs, mashed banana, banana extract, and olive oil to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use the whisk to mix until everything is well incorporated, leaving small pieces of banana for added texture. Gently fold in half of the low-carb chocolate chips using a spatula.
    3.
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown, puffed up, and no longer jiggly. As gluten-free breads require longer baking times, err on the side of caution and bake for a longer duration if needed.
    4.
    Allow the loaf to cool completely before removing it from the pan and slicing into 12 pieces. Due to its high moisture content, consume within 2-3 days if stored at room temperature. For longer storage, keep it in the fridge for up to one week or freeze slices for up to three months.
