1: Preheat Your Oven

First, Set the oven to preheat (350°F/180°C). While the oven is preheating, take a piece of parchment paper, lay it into the loaf pan, and stick it down. Best results can be obtained if possible using a 2lb loaf tin.

• If your tin is smaller: Expect a longer baking time.
• If your tin is larger: The bread will bake more quickly, so watch it closely.

So here’s a cool little trick: put your bananas on a plate and then into an oven that is preheating. The heat will help to ripen them and make them even sweeter-a little shortcut for a lot of flavor!

2: Mash the Bananas

Peel your three ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them until they’re smooth and creamy. You can use a fork, potato masher, or even your hands if you’re feeling adventurous.

Pro Tip: Prefer to mash them on a plate first? Go for it! Some people find it easier to get a smoother consistency this way.

3: Add the Wet Ingredients 

Once you have a beautifully creamy, fragrant sauce, you can spoon in the almond flour bit by bit as you continue mixing.

4: Incorporate the Dry Ingredients 

Sieve your pancake mix into the wet ingredients. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—keeping it light will give you fluffier banana bread.

5: Transfer to the Pan

Start by pouring the batter into the parchment paper-lined loaf pan. A little extra flair for the decor could be made by slicing an extra banana lengthwise down the middle and placing it on top of the batter.

6: Bake Your Banana Bread Recipe in No Time

Banana bread should be in the oven at 45 to 50 minutes. You will want to check for doneness at 45 minutes by inserting a skewer or toothpick into the center. If a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs on it, your bread is done!

7: Cool & Slice

Once baked, allow the banana bread to cool completely in the tin before slicing. Cooling ensures the loaf holds its shape and slices cleanly.

And there you have it—a delicious loaf of banana bread m
