- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, grated carrots, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins for added texture and flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the banana bread into thick, generous slices and serve. Enjoy it as a delightful breakfast treat, afternoon snack, or dessert option!
