- 4 small, ripe bananas 3 large or overripe
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond or peanut butter liquid or melted
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour ~about 200 grams
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour ~about 16 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the topping:
- 1/3 cup oat flour or almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons room temperature coconut oil or ghee
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat the oven to for 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, start by making the streusel topping. Combine all of the ingredients (oat flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and cinnamon). Refrigerate while you make the bread.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they are more liquid than solid. Add in the 3 eggs and whisk. Next, mix in the melted almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
In another small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gently mix with a spoon until well combined, but do not over mix.
Add the batter to the greased bread pan (tip: add a piece of parchment paper to easily remove from the pan). Remove the topping from the fridge and crumble on top.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until fully baked through and a toothpick comes out clean. If the top gets too browned while baking, lay a piece of foil on top for the duration of baking.
Let cool, slice into pieces, and enjoy!
