Matcha Banana Bread

Matcha banana bread is amazingly moist, fluffy and fragrant with a green tea aroma. The bitter sweetness is right on point, and it works as a healthy dessert or breakfast. Just like the rest of my recipes, this recipe is free of gluten and dairy!

Equipment

1 standard loaf pan (8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½ inches)

Ingredients

3 small ripe bananas about 1 ¼ cup when mashed
2 large eggs
½ cup cane sugar organic
3 tablespoons avocado oil or any neutral tasting oil

1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 177°C. Line a standard loaf pan (8.5 inch).
In a large bowl, place the bananas and mash well with a fork. Pro tip: microwave the bananas for 30 seconds. It softens them up nicely and makes the mashing easier.
Add in the eggs, sugar and whisk well.
Add in the avocado oil, almond milk, and matcha. Whisk well.
Stir in the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Optional: dust with more matcha powder upon serving.

Notes

*If the total weight of mashed banana is more or less than what’s stated above, adjust the baking time accordingly.

*If it starts burning on top, tent with aluminum foil from 30-40 minutes into baking.
