Instructions

Step 1Set your oven to 350°F (conventional, no fan). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it
Step 2In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla, and maple syrup, almond flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until combined. Add walnuts if you’re using
Step 3Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake for 42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs
