The creamy almond butter creates a delicious contrast with the subtle sweetness of the bananas, ensuring a treat that’s not only satisfying but also friendly to a variety of dietary needs.

Ingredients

• 3 medium bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup almond butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a loaf pan with a small amount of coconut oil or use a non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients together until they are well blended.
3. Gently fold the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt into the banana mixture, ensuring it is mixed well without overworking the batter.
4. Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
5. To create the almond butter swirls, drizzle additional almond butter over the top of the batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the almond butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
6. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely.
8. Once cooled, slice the banana bread and serve.
