Equipment
- Digital Food Scale
- Stand Mixer
- 1-pound Loaf Pan
- Parchment Paper Sheets
Ingredients
- 113 grams salted butter (softened)
- 170 grams light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large ripe bananas
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 64 grams almond butter
- 191 grams all purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 1-pound loaf pan with parchment paper, letting it fold over the sides for easier removal (or use a good nonstick pan).
- In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and light brown sugar. Mix on low using a hand mixer until combined.
- Add the bananas in chunks along with the almond butter. Mix on low until combined.
- Next add the heavy whipping cream and eggs. Mix on low until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into the mixing bowl in that order.
- Mix on low until combined. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread out evenly. Using a butter knife, make a slit down the center of the batter. This will help give you that perfect slit once baked.
- Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Once the loaf has cooled, remove it from the pan.
