How to Make Bread Of Barbados

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup almond flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then beat in 2 ripe mashed bananas until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the almond mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice thinly and serve. Enjoy with a pat of butter or a dollop of cream cheese (optional).
