This Almond Flour Banana Bread recipe has no sugar added to the batter itself. The only sweetness comes from the extra ripe bananas plus the chocolate wafers. You can add 1/4 cup of sugar if you like it sweeter, or top the banana bread with some whipped cream. That can also do the trick!
The recipe
Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with baking spray.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Mash the bananas.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl or electric mixer.
Add the mashed bananas, milk and vanilla extract and keep whisking until fully combined.
Add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt and fold with a spatula until fully incorporated.
Add most of the chocolate wafers and gently fold them in.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and gently shake it so the batter settles.
Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula.
Place the remaining chocolate wafers on top.
Bake for on the middle rack.
Insert a toothpick in the middle; it should come out clean. If not, bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.

Behind the recipe
If you don't have almond flour on hand, you can substitute all-purpose flour. Almond flour, though, has more fiber, vitamin E and protein.
