A moist banana bread... loaded with bananas and that meets various dietary restrictions.

Ingredients:

4 ripe bananas

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 1/4 cups almond flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

2 tablespoons flax meal

½ teaspoon cream of tartar

1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda

1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup pecans, chopped optional

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8.4 x 4.4 x 2.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil.

In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the bananas with a potato masher or a fork. Stir in the coconut oil, eggs and vanilla, mixing well.

In a medium bowl, stir together remaining dry ingredients, except the pecans; making sure you break up all the flours. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. Stir in the pecans (if using).

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Carefully remove from pan and finish cooling on wire rack before slicing.
