Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time55 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Servings: 6 -8

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas approximately 4 small bananas
  • 4 eggs separated
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup light agave nectar honey, or maple syrup
  • optional add ins: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts/chopped pecans/or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
  • Combine the brown rice flour, almond meal, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl and sift together.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the egg yolks (separate the egg whites in a medium bowl for beating), mashed banana, agave or maple syrup, vanilla extract, apple sauce, and melted coconut oil. Mix ingredients together and then set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites for about 30 seconds on high so that they are thick and fluffy. Add them to the bowl with the wet ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold together.
  • Lastly, fold the dry ingredients into the wet, again using a spatula, until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Time may vary depending on your oven. Stick a knife in the center to tell if it is finished. If it comes out clean, then it is done!
  • Allow to cool for 15 minutes then serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
