The keto diet has gained popularity in recent years. Even though I don’t practice any particular diet, I watch my carb (rice, bread, noodle, potato, sugar…) intake closely as my metabolism slows down with my age, so I am interested in playing with some keto recipes to make a snack for myself. Almond flour banana bread is the one I like the most. It is such a forgiving and versatile recipe in terms of ingredient selection, measurement, availability, and the whole preparation process. I did list a lot of ingredients in the recipe, but you can reduce them to only four essential items. It is very suitable food for breakfast and snacks. Without added sugar, this recipe is packed with proteins, vitamin E, antioxidants, fiber, fat, potassium, copper, iron, and minerals. I bake at least one loaf every week.

Notes

-To add flavor, texture, and nutrition, pumpkin seeds, crushed pecans or walnuts, raisins, flax seeds are highly recommended.
-The total baking time depends on the oven used. It is highly recommend to check the bread color and surface hardness to determine when to take the bread out.
-Replacing some almond flour with whole wheat, or regular wheat or other flour only changes total carbs and the texture; it will not change the preparation process. 
-No butter, oil, and sugar is needed.
