Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan with olive oil, then line it with parchment paper, allowing for a 2-inch overhang on all sides for easy removal.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, kosher salt, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and clove. Whisk until fully combined.
3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher. Add olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until beautifully combined. Stir in honey or your preferred sweetener.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Stir just until everything is beautifully incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and coconut flakes until evenly distributed.
5
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
7
Once baked, use the parchment overhang to lift the loaf from the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
