Bananenbrood met pecan noten

Recipes Baking Gluten-free Sugar-free

Banana bread is wonderful. It's quick to make, very filling and easy to prepare. But above all just insanely tasty. One slice fills you up and believe me: if you know this is in your bag as a snack around 3 PM, you'll be happy. If you freeze it you can take a slice of banana bread to work for a long time. You get the idea: I'm a big fan of banana bread. There was already a banana bread recipe on focusonfoodies.nl, but this time I made a gluten-free and sugar-free banana bread with pecans and those pecans are reaaally delicious!

Banana bread with pecans

Preheat the oven to 175°C
Place the pitted dates and bananas in the food processor and blend until smooth.
In a bowl whisk the eggs with the salt until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Gently fold the eggs into the banana mixture, then fold in the almond flour, hazelnut flour, pecans, baking powder and baking soda. Stir well until you have a uniform batter.
Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
If the loaf browns too quickly, you can cover the pan with some aluminum foil. Let the banana bread cool completely before removing it from the pan.

This pecan banana bread is a delicious gluten-free alternative to classic banana bread. Thanks to the ripe bananas and dates it's naturally sweet, without added refined sugar. Perfect as a healthy snack or breakfast.

Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to three days. You can also freeze it in slices so you always have a portion on hand.
