Cook Time 25 minutes
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Bananas – 2 for mashing and 2 for topping – do not act like you don’t have bananas sitting on your counter dying, like the rest of us
  • 1 C. Almond Flour extra fine (just like you, you go girl)
  • ½ C. Peanut Butter – I used Extra Chunky but creamy works. Almond Butter works too!
  • ¼ C Water
  • ¼ C. Chocolate Chips chopped – I love Lily’s Milk Chocolate Baking Chips, plus more for topping
  • ¼ C. Walnuts chopped plus more for topping
  • ¼. Shredded coconut unsweetened
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar – I used Truvia Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup – I used Lakanto Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1-2 tsp. Vanilla extract I didn’t exactly measure here so it’s a guestimate
  • 1 tsp. Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt

Method
 

  1. 1 – Preheat your oven to 350.
  2. 2 – Mash 2 of those ‘nanners in a large bowl.
  3. 3 – Add all the other ingredients except the maple syrup, the other 2 bananas, and chocolate and walnut toppings.
  4. 4 – Combine well. Should be pretty easy and smooth.
  5. 5 – Spray an 8×5 pan (or whatever you have) and pour the mixture in there smoothing it out.
  6. 6 – Slice the 2 remaining bananas in half, length-wise and put them in there. Make it pretty.
  7. 7 – Sprinkle the walnuts and chocolate on top like Salt Bae.
  8. 8 – THEN drizzle that maple syrup over the whole. dang. thing.
  9. 9 – Bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting in…though I won’t judge you if you can’t wait that long.
