Notes

Note: Tall Loaf Pan Version. 
If you'd like the taller, square bakery-style slices shown in some of my photos, use a tall loaf pan measuring approximately 9.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 inches (24 x 11 x 11 cm) and increase ingredients as per below: 👇🏻
  • 6 cups almond flour
  • 8 large eggs
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ banana, sliced for topping (optional)
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup melted butter, avocado oil, or coconut oil
  • ½ cup coconut sugar OR powdered allulose
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Bake uncovered for the first 20 minutes, then loosely cover with foil and continue baking for approximately 70 more minutes.
Total baking time: approximately 90 minutes.
