Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp almond milk unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 stick 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 dark chocolate bar chopped plus more to top
  • 3/4 cup pecans or other nuts chopped (plus more to top)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a square baking dish (or loaf pan) with cooking oil and set aside.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the butter.
  • Cook until the butter is browned and giving off a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately and pour in to a bowl. Let cool slightly.
  • Add the bananas to a stand mixer and beat until mashed, but still showing a few chunks.
  • Combine the eggs, vanilla, almond extract, maple syrup, greek yogurt, almond milk, and almond butter in the bowl. Mix until combined then stir in the browned butter.
  • Next add the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is just barely incorporated.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks and pecans.
  • Pour the batter in to the prepared dish. Add any additional toppings you'd like (more chocolate chunks, pecans, coconut, cinnamon sugar, chia seeds, etc.)
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until set.
  • Enjoy!
