Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (224g) super-fine almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (32g) coconut flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 3 large (150g) eggs
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup (120g) full-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (96g) granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) banana extract
  • 1/4 cup (60g) mashed ripe banana
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Note: The overhang makes it a breeze to lift the loaf out.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and monk fruit sweetener until they look pale and frothy.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, sour cream, banana extract, vanilla, and mashed banana. Mix until the batter is completely smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula. Stir just until no streaks of flour remain. Note: Over mixing leads to a dense, rubbery loaf.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is deep mahogany brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
