# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 1/4 cup coconut flour
03 - 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
04 - 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
05 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
06 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 tsp salt
→ Wet Ingredients
08 - 3 large eggs, room temperature
09 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
10 - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
11 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
12 - 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (approximately 200 g)
→ Optional Add-ins
13 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
14 - 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease thoroughly with butter.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until lightly beaten. Add melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula just until combined—do not overmix as this can create a dense texture.
05 - Gently fold in chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired, using only 3-4 strokes to distribute evenly.
06 - Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan. Use spatula to spread evenly and smooth the top surface.
07 - Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should emerge clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
