Passover banana bread made with almond flour and a little potato starch is moist, tender and naturally sweetened with very ripe bananas and honey or maple syrup, with optional walnuts.
Working With Almond Flour
Almond flour is heavier than wheat flour and has no gluten, so it can bake into a dense loaf if you’re not careful. A little potato starch lightens it, and well-beaten eggs give it lift. Use bananas that are very ripe and heavily spotted. Tent with foil if the top browns before the center is set, and brush the top with honey while warm for extra moisture.
Kosher Notes
Made with coconut oil, this banana bread is pareve. For Passover, use almond flour, potato starch, vanilla and oil certified kosher for Passover.
Storing
It keeps wrapped for 3 to 4 days or frozen for 3 months.

Method
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, potato starch, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with just a few small lumps remaining.
- Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
- Stir in the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together gently with a spatula until just combined. Don't overmix.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
