Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder make sure it's grain-free
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil plus a little extra for greasing
- 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
- 2 large, overripe bananas about 1 cup when mashed
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips optional, but recommended for a touch of indulgence
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x4-inch baking pan with a lightly greased piece of parchment paper. Make sure it hangs over the edges of the pan.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon.

- In a large glass bowl, melt the coconut oil and almond butter together in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until they're well combined.

- Add the mashed bananas, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the oil and almond butter mixture, and stir to combine.

- Mix in the lightly beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth and uniform. This will help bind all the ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- If you're using chocolate chips, now's the time to gently fold them in.

- Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. It's done when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the loaf out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
