Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9x5 bread pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang for easy removal. At this point, you should also melt the coconut oil and set it aside to cool.
  • Use a fork to mash the bananas into the bottom of a bowl, removing as many lumps as possible.
  • Add the eggs, oil, milk, and almond extract to the bowl with the bananas and whisk to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together, then stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Last, stir the almonds in by hand.
  • Pour the batter into the bread pan and bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Leave bread in bread pan for 10 minutes, then remove the bread and place it on a cooling rack.
  • While bread is cooling, prepare the glaze: Place sliced almonds in a small skillet and toast them for 5-7 minutes, or until they're slightly golden brown; remove from the heat. Meanwhile, stir powdered sugar, milk and extract together with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze overtop, then sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Slice and enjoy!
