You may be wondering how does almond flour affect baking.
This bread recipe calls for using almond flour rather than the usual all purpose flour.
The almond flour adds flavor and texture to this bread while leaving the carbohydrates low in comparison to other breads.
Almond flour is different from regular wheat flours when it comes to baking however.
Almond flour is basically made from ground up almonds.
This means that there is no natural gluten to hold the ingredients together and we must use an alternative method of binding our ingredients.
People sometimes ask can I eat banana on keto or low carb diets.
Technically, bananas do have their fair share of carbohydrates in them.
The average banana has about 24 net grams of carbohydrates.
However, here is what you need to know about this recipe and bananas.
Bananas add flavor and moisture to this recipe for bread.
Since this recipe has 12 servings (give or take depending on how you slice it) each slice has about 2 net grams from bananas in it.
Here are some tips for making bread.
The secret to making a successful banana and almond bread is baking it slowly to keep the moisture intact. To ensure that your bread has plenty of moisture, you can also lightly cover or tent it with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
More tips for you.
- The best bananas to use for a recipe such as this one is to use older and more ripe bananas. These bananas are easier to mash which is nice.
- Using fresh ingredients is essential for a recipe such as this one. This is especially true for your dry ingredients such as your baking powder.
- Make this marble bread even more tasteful. Add an additional tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (you may need to adjust the wet ingredients).
How to store sugar free banana bread.
Banana bread tends to be a more moist bread so I suggest storing it with a paper towel around or with it.
This bread should keep for up to five days in a refrigerator or even longer if frozen.
