The Ultimate Banana Bread Recipe for Making the Most of Overripe Bananas

The main thing to prepare a banana bread without sugar is that the bananas are very ripe so that they provide the sweetness necessary for the recipe without having to add any other sweetener. One way to speed up the ripening process, if we see that our bananas are not going to be ripe, is to put them in a paper bag or even give them a touch for a couple of seconds in the microwave.

Almond flour will provide the perfect texture and the characteristic flavor that this banana bread needs to be delicious. You can buy almond flour already prepared or you can prepare it at home by grinding skinless almonds until they have the right texture. If you are going to grind almonds at home, it is important not to over-grind them or you will end up with almond butter.

In addition, we will provide a very special flavor To this delicious dessert adding a touch of vanilla. If you don’t have vanilla extract, you can replace it with 30 g of commercial vanilla sugar.

What we are going to do next is the basic recipe. From now on, we can customize it to your liking for example, adding chopped nuts, cranberries or chocolate to the dough. This way we can vary it every time we prepare this delicious banana bread.
