Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup melted coconut oil
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas, and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
