Equipment
- 1 loaf pan or, optional muffin tin
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plant-based butter *
- ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 tablespoon ghee *
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon walnuts chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and either line loaf pan with parchment paper, or spray with olive oil (any oil will work)
- Using a large skillet, heat butter and sweeteners over medium heat. Once melted, add mashed bananas and mix together. Turn the heat to low and allow mixture to simmer for ~5 minutes, or until the mixture begins to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside for 20-30 minutes.
- With the burner still on low, melt the ghee in the skillet and fry the sliced banana (roughly 3 minutes on each side). Once the banana is caramelized, remove from heat, turn off burner and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the caramelized mashed bananas and eggs using a hand (or stand) mixer.
- In the same bowl, add the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Using the mixer, combine all ingredients until well incorporated.
- Pour the mixed batter into the loaf pan, top with sliced caramelized banana and bake for 20-30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
*Plant-based butter is entirely optional for this recipe. Grass-fed butter would work just fine
*Ghee is another ingredient that could be replaced with any other oil (olive, avocado, coconut oil) or butter
