Banana Bread

Almond Flour Banana Bread

by

Banana bread happens to be one of my husband’s favorite foods. Every time since childhood he has visited his Aunt, she bakes him a loaf and there isn’t much he holds dearer. So, you can imagine I was a little nervous to have him try it. (I didn’t even ask him to try the first few versions! It took several attempts to get it right.) But once I thought I had finally found the right balance I asked him to try a piece. He loved it! As a true connoisseur of banana bread my husband has high standards. If he likes it, I guarantee you will too! Feel free to add 1 cup of walnuts, or any other approved SCD nuts to the batter to give it an elevated flavor and texture. I opt to leave them out of mine only because I have a walnut allergy in my home. If you can add them, they really help the moisture balance in the bread, and ensures it doesn’t turn out overly wet and dense. However, the recipe is delicious as is too and will bake up just fine. It has my husband’s personal seal of approval!
