Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan to prepare it for batter.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, stevia powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Add the unsweetened almond milk, vegetable oil, and egg to the bananas and mix until well combined.
Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in pine nuts and flax seeds if using.
Transfer to pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool down: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Adjust stevia powder amount according to your sweetness preference.
You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
Optional pine nuts and flax seeds add extra nutrition and texture but can be omitted.
Store banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
