New Technique: Seared Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond butter unsalted
• 1 1/2 cup mashed very ripe bananas about 3 bananas
• 1/2 cup organic pumpkin puree
• 2 whole organic eggs
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp celtic salt
• 1 tbsp organic pumpkin pie spice
• 1 1/2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
• 1 tsp organic cinnamon
• 1/2 cup organic dark chocolate chips

• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
• 1 1/2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
• 1/2 tbsp coconut oil melted

• 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee
• 1 loaf of banana bread
• 1 tbsp coconut yogurt
• Cinnamon and celtic salt to sprinkle on top

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF

2. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix until a smooth batter is formed, folding in the chocolate chips last, if desired.

3. Pour mixture into a nonstick bread pan. Then add crumble evenly over the top!
4. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes at 350F use the old toothpick trick! It is easy to check a cake or bread for doneness by using the toothpick test. Just stick a toothpick into the center of your banana bread, If there is wet batter still on the toothpick, it needs more time in the oven. If it comes out clean, your bread is done!
5. Let cool in the pan- then remove & enjoy
