Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons ground flaxseeds
  • 6 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/3 cup well ripened spotty bananas , about 3 bananas
  • 3 Tablespoons organic refined coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1/3 cup unsalted almond butter , be sure to use drippy and not from the bottom of the jar
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup OR Lakanto sugar free maple syrup
  • 2 tsps vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups superfine blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional add-ins:

  • vegan chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easier removal.
  2. Make the flax eggs by adding the chia seeds and almond milk to a large mixing bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes, or until thickened up. Add spotty bananas and use a fork or potato masher to mash well.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients: place a large mesh sieve to the top of the bowl and sift in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick with a few lumps.
  5. Transfer the batter prepared loaf pan. Top with preferred mix-ins or slices of bananas and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Remove pan from oven and allow the banana bread to cool for at least 30 minutes, before slicing.
