Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour* (see notes)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda* (see notes)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder * (see notes)
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 ripe medium-sized bananas
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl Ingredients:
- 1.5 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- pinch of Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350°. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork and add the wet ingredients and stir to combine and set aside.
- In a smaller bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt and set aside
- In a loaf pan measuring 9″ x 5″ lined with parchment paper, spread half the batter and smooth evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture and spread evenly. Add the rest of the batter on top of the cinnamon sugar mixture and top evenly with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. To prevent too much browning on top, at about 35 minutes, you can place a piece of foil on top and continue to bake. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove and finish cooling on a cooling rack.
Notes
*I have updated this recipe by adding the tapioca flour and then I increased the baking soda and baking powder to 1 teaspoon each. If you don’t use the tapioca flour then keep the measurments as they are written (3/4 teapspoon each).
You can make this bread either way and I think it tastes terrific either way – I do like the texutre better with the added tapioca flour – I think it gives it more bulk, more like a banana bread made with gluten – but this one has NO gluten in it – YAY!!
