Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 very ripe bananas until smooth. Add 2 eggs, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups almond flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Avoid overmixing. If using, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
