- 1/4 cup ghee or butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil and set aside.
- In a large bowl mash the bananas until no big chunks are left. Add the eggs, vanilla, and ghee and whisk until well combined.

Notes
- Storing – store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or at room temperature on the counter for up to 5 days.
- Reheating – Warm loaf slices in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and keep warming at 30 second intervals until it is warmed to your liking. To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread on a baking sheet and reheat for 15-20 minutes.
- Freezing – Let the banana bread cool before adding them to a zip lock bag, Stasher bag, or freezer safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat it, defrost the bread the night before on the counter.
