Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread made with Almond flour

Ripe bananas, almond flour, vanilla, eggs, hmmm starting to sound like a banana bread to me and not only that a gluten free banana bread. I figured if I can do a gluten free dessert that I will be able to bring it to events where I am asked to make something that just about any and everyone can eat it.

I do not like wasting food, so I dug in my cabinets and refrigerator to see what else I had that I can use in the bread. It did not take long at all to mix the ingredients and in fact as you probably can guess, the longest part was the cooking of the bread. Most of the ingredients are in the picture below, but I will cover it in detail in a second. I had received the earth balance from one of the word of month companies that I tend to get items from, the rest of the ingredients came from my local grocery store.
