1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to dust

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 1.5L loaf pan with baking paper.

Mash 2 bananas in a bowl with maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and bicarb soda. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat coconut oil and eggs until combined. Combine coconut flour, almond meal and baking powder in a bowl. Fold banana mixture into egg mixture, then fold in the flour mixture and nuts.
