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
Preheat oven to 375F and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper
In a large mixing bowl mash the ripe bananas with a potato masher or with a fork
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract
In a separate bowl combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder
Fold dry ingredients into wet and combine thoroughly - this mixture will be thicker than a standard banana bread, but that is good
In a small bowl mix coconut sugar and cinnamon into the melted ghee
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
Spread the second half of the batter into the loaf pan and pour the rest of the cinnamon sugar ghee on top
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
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
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
