In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 tablespoon maple syrup over medium heat. Add banana and cinnamon and saute, stirring frequently, until bananas are very fragrant and just beginning to soften - about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Mash well, then allow to cool to room temperature.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil, remaining 2 tablespoons maple, almond flour, flaxseed meal, coconut, baking soda, sea salt, eggs, and apple cider vinegar to the mashed bananas. Using a rubber spatula, fold batter until just combined.

Pour into silicone loaf pan, making sure mixture is evenly distributed, then top with banana slices, coconut flakes, and hemp seeds (optional). I used THIS loaf pan and wouldn't recommend any other. Bake for 55 minutes.
