Recipe By: Madeline
Prep: 15 miutesCook: 45 minutesTotal: 0 hours
Servings: 8 slices 1x

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup melted ghee
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper
  2. In a large mixing bowl mash the ripe bananas with a potato masher or with a fork
  3. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract
  4. In a separate bowl combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet and combine thoroughly – this mixture will be thicker than a standard banana bread, but that is good
  6. In a small bowl mix coconut sugar and cinnamon into the melted ghee
  7. Pour 1/2 of the bread batter into the loaf pan, spread into an even layer and then pour half of the cinnamon, sugar ghee on top of that 
  8. Spread the second half of the batter into the loaf pan and pour the rest of the cinnamon sugar ghee on top
  9. Take a knife, chopstick or wooden skewer and make figure 8 patterns through the loaf pan to swirl the cinnamon sugar ghee into the bread batter
  10. Place in the oven to bake for 40-45 minutes – the loaf will be done when you can insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean
  11. Allow the loaf to cool fully before removing from the pan and cutting into slices

Notes

**I have not tested with any other flour combinations. Coconut oil can work in place of the ghee, but I have not tested with butter
