Makes 1 full size loaf or 2 small loaves

Ingredients:

4 spotted/mushy bananas (medium-large)

4 tablespoons softened coconut oil

2 eggs

1/2 cup coconut nectar

1 cup gluten-free flour of your choice

1 cup almond meal/flour

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cardamom (optional)

3/4 cup walnuts (optional) or any other nut, shredded coconut or chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease (with coconut oil) the pans of your choice. Combine wet ingredients (bananas, eggs, coconut oil, coconut nectar) in a large mixing bowl until soft (use fork or potato masher). It’s okay for small chunks of banana to be left in the batter; it doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth.

Mix all the rest of the dry ingredients together.

Pour dough into pan(s) and bake until a toothpick comes out clean (roughly 40-50 minutes depending on loaf size, smaller ones will cook faster, and one large one will take longer), keep checking and remove when the top is golden brown.

Let cool for 8 minutes and then remove from pan, slice and serve. This keeps for a several days or you can also freeze it and toast slices as needed.
