I also wanted to try to make some banana bread using almond flour, but I'm worried the same thing will happen, and almond flour is expensive lol. Although my sis is senior chef at Masala TV but of a no use to me.

Any ideas? Do I need to add something to it, or bake it at a lower temp, or what?? Or is it the sweeteners I'm using that are causing this to happen??
I don't tend to use Paleo treats myself. I went cold turkey on a lot of stuff including baked goods. I am not missing the sugar either. My only treat is milky coffee in the morning.

My wife thinks that if you are having problems with things getting burnt then you should try baking at a lower temperature and check it regularly to see what is going on.
