  • 1/4 cup melted butter or vegan butter*
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cups oat flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or sub pecans)
  • Streusel Topping:
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp solid and chilled butter or vegan butter*
  • 3 tbsp chopped walnuts (or sub pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Let's start with the streusel topping: Mix almond flour, coconut sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork to cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the nuts. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Mix in eggs, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add in almond flour, oat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined, then gently fold in the chopped nuts.
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and top it evenly with the streusel topping.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool before slicing. Enjoy!
