Keto Cream Cheese Banana Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 4 oz (about 1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/3 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Ready your oven for baking at 350°F (175°C). To prepare a loaf pan of normal size, coat it with oil or butter.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • Beat the eggs with the mashed bananas, melted butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Blend until completely combined, using a whisk or hand mixer.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • Combine the flours of almonds and coconuts with the sugar substitute (erythritol), baking soda, salt, baking powder, and flour in another bowl.
4. Combine Mixtures:
   • While whisking constantly, add the dry ingredients to the liquid ones and mix until smooth.
5. Fold in Nuts:
   • Once incorporated into the batter, fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
6. Transfer to Pan:
   • Evenly distribute the batter into the loaf pan that has been oiled.
7. Bake:
   • Fifty to sixty minutes into the preheated oven, or until a toothpick left with just wet crumbs or no residue emerges from the center when inserted.
8. Cool:
   • After the banana bread has cooled for approximately 10 minutes in the pan, turn it out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
9. Slice and Serve:
   • Once cooled, slice the Keto Cream Cheese Banana Bread and enjoy a moist, flavorful treat.
