Method
- Preheat oven and prepare the loaf pan by greasing it with coconut oil.
- Swirl almond butter on top of the batter before baking.
- Mash the bananas until smooth.
- Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and ground cardamom.
- Mix the wet ingredients: eggs, mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and warmed coconut oil.
- Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool before serving.
Helpful tips
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavour and texture.
- Mix the batter only until the flour is incorporated.
- Swirl the almond butter lightly over the top rather than mixing it completely into the batter.
Storage
Store the fully cooled banana bread in a covered container.
