It snowed in NYC for the first time!! It didn’t stick at all, but STILL! I love watching it fall with a hot drink in hand in my slippers. It’s a good time, are you with me?!
Anyhoo… when you’re ‘snow-bound’ (albeit, self-inflicted)… with a ton of ripe bananas, what to do- what to do? Me thinks it’s gotta be something hot, baked and comforting. Hence the birth of these banana bread bites.
Side bar: This. Flour. Blend. – I’m loving it in this recipe!
Banana with coconut flour is such a happy marriage, banana really keeps it moist. The cassava flour makes it elastic and chewy, and the almond meal/flour helps it to have that bready-crust on the outside. And what better to make with ripe bananas than banana bread? OK, let’s be real, there is a ton of stuff you can make with it but… AHH banana bread so hits the spot. By making them in muffin tins, I get to have them a little quicker AND get to control the portion size a little more while making for a great table spread if you happen to be entertaining 😉
Oh and a little hot french press coffee and flax milk? Hi. That’s a great way to start any chilly winter morning <333
Try these!!
makes 12 regular sized bites or if using a mini pan, it cane make up to 24, you can optionally make this as a full loaf of banana bread!
(for each serving out of 12)

Perfect for kids, my daughter loved these. Well, I also enjoyed them but I did make them for her. Thanks.
I made these for my kids this week and they were gone so fast. Thanks for a simple and tasty recipe!
These tasted just like my favorite bakery banana bread but I loved that they were in bite form and gluten free too! Yum!
These were so tasty! Can’t wait to make again. 🙂
This is such a cute way of serving banana bread. My kids are going to love it.
The flour blend was genius! And the flavor profile was perfectly balanced too! My only issue was that the batter seemed WAY too dry. It felt more like cookie dough than muffin batter. And while the flavor of the finished product was amazing, I felt like the texture would have been even better if I had more moisture in my batter. Do you happen to have the measurements for the flours in grams, instead of cups? Maybe I added too much flour? How about the bananas? The total amount of banana can vary greatly depending on the size of the bananas. Do you have a goal measured amount for those? Should I have added some almond milk or coconut milk to the batter? Thank you for any help you can send my way. I’d like to make this again, but get it right the next time.
Hi! I don’t have different measurements than what’s provided, as you mentioned the banana sizes can vary, etc. – I estimate 🙂 It sounds like the turnout was good though!
I love the nuttiness of the almond flour. Yum!
Oh yum! What a a lovely HEALTHY treat. Simple ingredients, and looks so delicious. I must give this recipe a try. Thanks for idea!
My favorite bread in bite-size form. Heck yeah!
I love banana bread and making it into little bites is such a great idea. These look fantastic!
These banana bites are the perfect snack – just enough, not too much. Plus, there’s always the choice of having another…LOL
Totally yum and I love that I can share it with my GF friends.
These look wonderful – perfect for my kids lunchboxes, when I can’t give them a big cake but a little nugget of homemade banana bread. Trying these at the weekend, thanks!
These banana bites look incredible! I need to get some cassava flour and give them a try.
These look so delicious! I think I’d have to eat the entire batch!!
That flour blend is awesome! It is always good to use just a little coconut flour and I definitely love using cassava flour in my bakes now too! It has totally saved my gluten-free bakes many times! Love these little banana bread bites! Clever idea!
love your styling here, girl! and i’m so glad to hear that you got a little snow. it’s winter white here, but too cold to enjoy it. all the snuggly things like banana bread bites and coffee on repeat. a good reminder to pull out the cassava flour!
YUM! These look like the perfect little bites of bananay goodness 🙂
