This recipe for blueberry banana bread has quickly become a favorite of mine!

It's dense, but moist and flavorful. The combination of almond and tapioca flour creates the perfect texture. Think: dense but soft and squishy (not crumbly).

I love topping a slice with almond butter or toasting a piece and adding some dairy free butter and a pinch of salt.

Ingredients

This paleo blueberry banana bread contains grain free flours, fresh blueberries, walnuts (optional), mashed banana and eggs. Here's a list of what you need to make this recipe:

• almond flour
• tapioca flour
• baking soda
• salt
• ripe bananas
• eggs
• lemon juice
• vanilla
• fresh blueberries
• walnuts (optional)

For a nut free loaf, you may swap the almond flour for tigernut flour and omit the walnuts. Other than that, I don't recommend any ingredient substitutions. This gluten free blueberry bread has not been tested without eggs and I'm not sure how well an egg substitute would work.

How to Make Blueberry Banana Bread with Almond Flour

This blueberry banana bread recipe is easy to make and worth every minute it takes to bake.

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8" x 4" baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together mashed banana, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combine. Fold the blueberries and chopped walnuts into the batter.

Next, pour the batter into the lined baking pan. Top with additional blueberries and walnuts.

Place the blueberry loaf in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes.

After baking, cool the loaf for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire cooling rack.

Storage

This loaf is best stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week. I don't recommend keeping it in the freezer, as the blueberries get icy.

Best Way to Store Paleo Blueberry Banana Bread

This bread needs to be kept in the fridge, or frozen for later use.  Because of the moisture from the blueberries, this loaf doesn't last well at room temperature.  But, stored in an air-tight container in the fridge, it will last well up to one week.

This Healthy Blueberry Banana Bread is great on it's own.  It can also be enjoyed with toppings such as nut butter, cream cheese, yogurt or grass fed butter.  If you need to soften the bread, microwave it (on high) for 5-10 seconds or toast it in the oven for a few minutes.
