Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for even baking.
- Gather a 9 x 4 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter with your chosen granulated sweetener for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
- Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Incorporate banana extract and Greek yogurt and whisk until smooth.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, removing the foil around the 40-minute mark.
- Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when inserted into the center.
Finishing Touches
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients, keep an eye on baking times, and opt for high-quality flours. Allowing the bread to cool helps with slicing.
