- 2 cups almond flour

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions
- Start by heating your oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or give it a light mist of nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until smooth
- In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until you have a uniform batter. It's important not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan. You can sprinkle the top with crushed peanuts, extra chocolate chips and sea salt.
- Slide the pan into the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes. It's done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
