1/4 c finely ground almond flour

25-30g of brown sugar

1-2 tbsp of cinnamon

*Optional: nuts

Instructions:

In a mixer, cream the butter and coconut sugar together, then add mashed bananas, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla. Beat until combined. Remove from mixer and add sourdough discard, and mix with a spoon until incorporated. Then add in the flours, baking powder baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours, covered. Before baking mix in nuts.

Preheat oven to 350F and use parchment paper to line loaf pans. Topping: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle on each loaf.

If making mini loaves, bake for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. If making large loaves, bake for 40 minutes and check every 3 min until done in the middle.
