Easy Banana Bread with Almond Butter - Ingredients

This moist banana bread with almond butter is made out of these ingredients:

• Bananas. Be sure to use ripe bananas, those whose peel already has brown spots. These bananas are optimally sweet and soft.
• Flour. All-purpose flour or spelt cake flour.
• Butter. For this recipe you'll need melted butter.
• Sugar. I prefer using fine light brown sugar. You can use granulated sugar instead as well.
• Almond Butter. Use creamy almond butter made out of 100% nuts. This one has the best flavor.
• Chocolate. You can use either chocolate drops or chopped chocolate.
• Eggs.
• Cinnamon.
• Baking Powder.
• Pinch of Salt.

How to make a soft Banana Bread with Almond Butter

Preparing this banana bread is very uncomplicated. You need 2 mixing bowls and a rectangular baking pan (approx. 28×10 cm).

Place the bananas in a large bowl and mash them with a fork. Alternatively, you can also mix them in a blender.

Add eggs, almond butter and sugar and stir everything together.

Add the melted butter and mix everything well again.

Place all dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well with a whisk.

Add the dry ingredients and 2/3 of the chocolate chips to the liquid ingredients and stir everything together. Mix only as long as necessary so that the banana bread does not become sticky after baking.

Pour the dough into a prepared baking pan. If it is not made of silicone, be sure to line it with baking paper so that the banana bread doesn't stick. Then sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips and bake in the preheated oven for about 55 minutes until golden brown.

Moist Almond Butter Banana Bread - Tips & FAQ

Which bananas are best for this recipe?

Ripe bananas are the key for a good, tasty banana bread. The bananas are best when their peel is slightly brown. Then they are perfectly sweet and soft and therefore ideal to mash.

You can mash the bananas with a fork or in a blender. It's totally up to you.

Can I replace the almond butter with another nut butter?

Yes! Instead of almond butter, you can also use hazelnut or cashew butter.

What do I do if I don't have chocolate chips at home?

If you don't have chocolate chips on hand, you can also chop a bar of chocolate into small pieces.

Is there anything I should consider when baking the banana bread?

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients quickly and only as much as necessary. If you stir for too long, there is a risk that the banana bread will become firm.

How should I store the banana bread? Can I freeze it?

In my opinion, a banana bread tastes best when it's freshly baked and still warm. That way it's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

If you want to freeze it, it's best to do it the same day. This way you get the best result after defrosting. I always cut it straight into slices and put little paper “spacers” between them. This way I can defrost it in portions.
