Ingredients
- 1/2 c. melted organic butter
- Extra butter for the pan
- 1 c. plus 2 tbsp. almond flour, divided, plus more for pan
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 3/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. granulated monk fruit sweetener, divided

- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk, divided
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 4 oz. organic, softened cream cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°, and use the butter to grease and flour a 9″-x-5″ loaf pan with almond flour. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another large bowl, combine until smooth the 3/4 c. granulated monk fruit, melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla, and 1 egg and egg yolk. Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir until combined.
- Fold in the mashed bananas.
- To make the cream cheese filling: Stir together the last egg, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of almond flour and granulated monk fruit in a small bowl.
- Transfer half of the batter to the prepared pan. Spoon the cream cheese filling on top of that, and smooth in an even layer with a spatula. Top it off with remaining batter.
- Bake until deeply golden and a toothpick comes out clean for approximately 1 hour. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
