Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup almond butter any nut butter will work
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips plus more to sprinkle on top if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. In a bowl or on a plate, mash up the bananas with the back of fork. There should be no large chunks left.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the eggs, almond butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add the mashed bananas and mix to incorporate. There may be small little clumps of banana in the batter which is okay.
  • Add the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder to the bowl and fold until no flour clumps remain.
  • Pour the batter into a lined 8 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle some additional chocolate chips over top if desired and bake for 40 - 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and you can insert a toothpick into the center of the bread and it comes out clean.
  • Sprinkle some sea salt flakes over the loaf while it's warm and then let it cool before cutting into slices.
