Banana Almond Loaf

Got spotty bananas?

Banana bread is a staple. It really brings me back to the Tiger King period of quarantine. I love baking with green banana flour. It is a great source of resistant starch and is gut-friendly. It has a smooth texture and a very subtle flavor.

Nut or seed butters are a great addition to any baked good. Sesame butter is more neutral than an almond or peanut butter. The balance super powder has cacao in it, along with sacha inch, turmeric and reishi.

The almond slices are the perfect contrast. They add a slight crunch and some nice texture. The add-ins are completely optional. There are so many different combinations.
