Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the mashed banana, grated zucchini, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
