Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for structure)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or allulose (adjust to taste)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or coconut oil)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons banana extract or 1/4 of a very ripe banana, mashed (about 1 tablespoon; optional but adds flavor)
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan and oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, letting the edges overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease any exposed sides.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and your sweetener until well combined and lump-free.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla. Add banana extract, or mash in the small portion of ripe banana if using.
  4. Bring it together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Stir with a spatula until just combined and smooth. If using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in gently.
  5. Fill the pan: Transfer the batter to the lined loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle a few extra nuts or chips on top if you like.
  6. Bake: Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too fast, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Cool completely: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment and cool fully on a rack. This step sets the crumb so it slices cleanly.
  8. Slice and serve: Use a serrated knife to cut into thick slices. Enjoy plain, with butter, or a smear of sugar-free nut butter.
