Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon cinnamon
40 grams beef gelatin
½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
2 sticks salted butter (plus more for greasing the skillet)
¾ cup granular sweetener of choice
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon banana extract
6 whole eggs
1 large banana, ripened (or 2 small bananas)
¾ cup sugar free chocolate chips (reserve some for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease your 12-inch cast iron skillet with some butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and beef gelatin. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together melted butter and sweetener. Add mashed banana, banana extract and vanilla extract and combine. Add in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
Combine the wet and the dry ingredients. Once the batter is well combined, fold in the chocolate chips. Make sure to reserve some of the chocolate chips for the top. Now add your batter to a greased cast iron skillet. Smooth with a rubber spatula.
Top with remaining chocolate chips. Put in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
Allow the low carb banana bread to cool for about 20-30 minutes before cutting into it.
