Gluten-Free Blueberry Banana Bread: Foolproof Almond Flour Recipe

  • Author: Julia
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Description

A moist, tender, and easy-to-make gluten-free banana bread using almond flour and fresh blueberries. This simple recipe requires minimal ingredients and delivers a rich, nutty flavor without the dryness typical of gluten-free baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) blanched almond flour
  • 3 large ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • ½ cup (115g) butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (100g) sugar (mix of brown and white)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. Peel ripe bananas and mash them in a large bowl with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks.
  3. Pour melted butter into the mashed bananas and stir. Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined and glossy.
  4. Add almond flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Toss blueberries in a teaspoon of almond flour (if using frozen) to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use blanched almond flour for a finer texture; almond meal will make the bread gritty. Ensure bananas are very ripe (spotty brown) for maximum sweetness and moisture. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding. The bread continues to cook after removal from the oven, so err on the side of underbaking slightly.
