This business called food blogging can be so funny. Last week, I was scrambling, because I can think of Nothing fresh and exciting to make. And then today, I think of literally five new recipes that I can’t wait to try. This idea of flourless banana bread popped into my head this morning while I was driving my older son to preschool. I came home as fast as I could to try it. And it turned out so good! I was a little afraid I would eat the whole pan before anyone else would ever see them. For this recipe, I based it off of my Flourless Sweet Potato Brownies. But using different nut butter, used bananas instead of sweet potatoes, and didn’t add the chocolate. 
There is no flour, no sugar, and no butter or oil in this recipe. They are moist and sweet. Bananas are sweet enough, so no added sugar is required. My husband thought that maybe they could have been a little too moist in the middle. If you are a bit wary of your bread being so, you know, flourless, then I would add 1 cup of cooked quinoa to the mixture. That way, you will achieve more texture. I turned chopped walnuts into a nut butter using my food processor. I believe it’s the walnuts that make this recipe taste like traditional banana bread.
Prep time: Cook time: Total time: Serves: 12 squares
1 1/2 cups of chopped walnuts 1/3 cup of almond butter three bananas one teaspoon natural vanilla extract one teaspoon baking soda one egg
In your food processor, pulverize your walnuts until they turn into a butter.
I think that this banana bread would be tasty with any nut butter, but I think to add the walnuts add an exceptional taste. Also, I know some of my readers have made the Flourless sweet potato brownies with two eggs. So, I don’t think that would be inappropriate either. Let me know how you like this bread:)

THis was so delicious. I didn’t have any walnuts, so I used pecans instead. I also added an extra egg. They were so perfect!
I am glad you liked it!!!!
i forgot to mention, i used cashew butter instead of almond butter as i didn’t have any. was still perfectly delicious 🙂
I have this on in the oven now. can’t wait to see the result. i added 1./2 tsp of pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup of scotch oats and a little bit of chia seeds.

OMG!!! You saved my sweet tooth today. I came home and was craving sweet. Lucked up on your recipe and sent the hubby for bananas and walnuts. This is amazing. I added 2 dates and just 1/2 tbsp of agave. I really don’t think it needed it for my taste but wanted my son and husband to enjoy and knew they would need a little extra. This is great and can’t wait to try your other recipes!
Yay! I am so happy you liked this recipe! I love the idea of adding dates! Have a great day!
I’m ready making this again!! It’s adictive
I really do love banana bread. I love that your recipe is gluten free too so that coeliacs and also eat it. I also like the fact that you’ve added walnuts for some extra texture and crunch. This looks so delicious and thank you for sharing the recipe.
It was truly a must make. We just finished it. I’m thinking of going to make more right now.
Thank you so much !!!
I am so happy you liked it!
I made it again tonight. Lol. It’s great we are wheat free and low carb. I have been telling everyone that will listen. My husband tells me to stop talking about because everyone will come over for a piece. Lol. Thanks again.
You’re so funny! I am so glad you like it! Now I kind of want to make it again too!
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I have it in the oven as I type. I tasted the batter and ended up adding 3 tsp of sugar and a pinch of salt. If the cook banana bread is 1/2 as good as the raw batter. It’s going to be great.
I’m totally loving this recipe for banana bread, it looks absolutely scrumptious and since I try to avoid flour, I think I’ll definitely be giving this a try! It looks so moist and dense, I bet some chocolate chips would make it super delish! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Wow this sounds amazing! I love that you made a flourless banana bread, perfect for those who are gluten free. Plus the almond butter and walnuts sound like they would be a great way to crunch up the bread.
This is one recipe that I will definitely try making because my family loves banana bread, but I want it gluten free! Thanks for sharing! Love it!
I never would have thought to try flourless breads! Your bread looks delicious and sounds like it would be just as delicious. I never thought to make walnut butter before I need to try that out.
Yum!! 🙂
