ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup buttermilk, or kefir
- 1 teaspoon or vanilla extract vanilla paste
- 5 ripe bananas, (3 mashed, 2 thinly sliced lengthwise)
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C, and grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch circle baking pan or cast-iron skillet.
Step 2
Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring often until the butter melts, the foam subsides, and the solids on the bottom of the pan turn a dark, nutty brown. Quickly pour the butter into a large mixing bowl to prevent burning, and set aside to cool briefly.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
Step 4
Once the butter has cooled slightly, add the sugar, eggs, yogurt, buttermilk, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, then use a spoon or rubber spatula to stir in the mashed bananas. Add the flour mixture and stir until just blended and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and spread into an even layer. Top with the sliced bananas. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
