Cardamom Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x5 loaf pan with coconut oil.

In a medium bowl, mash your ripe bananas until completely smooth. Add the two eggs and beat them in with the bananas until the mixture is uniform.

Add the maple syrup, melted and cooled coconut oil, and vanilla extract into the egg/banana mixture. Stir to combine until smooth.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cardamom, cinnamon, and baking soda until well incorporated.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.

Transfer the banana bread batter to your prepared pan, ensuring the mixture is evenly distributed throughout the pan. You can do this with the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Add slivered almonds on top and a dusting of cinnamon.

Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Then, drop the oven temperature to 325 and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the edges and tops of the banana bread are golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
