Equipment

  • Standard loaf pan

Ingredients

Wet ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed (about 480 g)
  • 2 eggs (sub egg replacer)
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt (120 g) dairy-free sub might work
  • 1/4 cup sugar (48 g)

Dry ingredients

  • 2 cups hazelnut or almond flour (112 g) regular/gf all purpose will work too
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1-2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup (optional) chopped hazelnuts (30 g)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a loaf pan with parchment.
  • In a large bowl mash bananas and beat in eggs (you can use a food processor for this). Add other wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Add all dry ingredients and fold to combine. Transfer to loaf pan and sprinkle with nuts.
  • Bake about 1 hour until the center is baked, starting to check at the 50 minute mark. If browning too quickly, tent with foil.
  • Let your loaf cool a few minutes and cool completely on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy! I stored mine refrigerated for about a week.

Notes

  • Nutrition information is based on 2% strained greek yogurt.
  • I sometimes omit the sugar if the loaf is for breakfast and add toppings. Either way it's good.
