This Paleo Banana Bread is packed with bananas and has the perfect texture. It really is the best grain free banana bread ever! The Banana Bread is made with almond flour and is Paleo, Grain Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal.
What’s the hardest part about making the perfect banana bread? Being patient.
Nothing makes a better banana bread then very ripe bananas, in fact, the more disgusting those bananas look rotting on your counter, the better the banana bread is going to taste. The grocery store near my house only sells very green bananas so it often takes up to a month for them to ripen to the perfect mushy, dark brown state.
Originally I was going to post a Banana Bread recipe that I used to make that was always a winner in my household, it was really moist and packed full of flavour.
I created an Specific Carbohydrate Diet equivalent version that SA admits tastes better then the original, which is saying A LOT. This Paleo Banana Bread really does deserve the title of ‘The Best’ as its light, incredibly moist and full of banana flavour.

The Best Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or other sweetener
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 very ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
- In a mixing bowl combine the baking soda and almond flour
- Next add in the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla and 2 of the bananas, ensure all of the ingredients are mixed well
- I like to then add the remaining 2 bananas at the end so they remain in chunks when cooked. Stir in the walnuts
- Line a baking tin with parchment paper (this will make your life a lot easier when trying to remove the bread after baking)
- Bake for 50-55 minutes (after 25-30 minutes of baking I usually cover the bread with tin foil to ensure it doesn't become too dark)
- Insert a tooth pick or skewer into the bread and ensure it comes out clean before removing the bread from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking tin. Enjoy!

Can I make muffins with this recipe?
Yes you can! Just reduce the cook time
My husband is on the SCD, and this is our go-to banana bread recipe. We almost always have a loaf in the fridge. We noticed it cooks the most evenly when done in a round cake tin.
How many calories in a slice? A guest?
I started SCD about 6mon ago. This recipe helped so much with the transition, and my kids prefer it to our old recipe! I usually add some cinnamon and some extra nuts on top. Today made it into 18 muffins, and they also turned out great. I do have to bake quite a bit longer than the recipe calls for (muffins were about 45min, and bread is probably closer to 75min – I go based on smell and appearance, plus dry toothpick)
I have tons of very ripe pears. Could I use this recipe and swap out the bananas for pears?
This is the best! I made them into muffins. Some without nuts, some topped with nuts, and a few with dried blueberries added. Absolutely perfect! I have broadened out form SCD to IBD-AID so oats are allowed and I replaced half almond flour with gluten free oat flour and I can’t imagine a more delicious treat. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Made this into 12 muffins last night. 350 for 25 minutes – perfect! Absolutely loved these. So moist, lightly sweet and great texture. Thanks!
loved it
our 13 yr old son was allowed the option for very harsh drugs or to try scd diet.
he hasn’t felt like eating too much yet and this recipe has helped so much. its super good. thank you so much
This was great! And I felt good about eating it with no guilt!!! I had frozen bananas that were disgusting when thawed out and I was sure they would be too “wet” but it was sooo good!! Thank you for all you do!!😋
Taste great, but mine came out very gooey inside, I even let it go an extra 15 mins, not sure if it’s because I used home made almond flower, and I ua pre made container of mashed up bananas???
