Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper and brushing it with coconut oil.

Mix together 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of almond butter, and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a bowl for the topping and set aside.

Mash about 1 cup of ripe bananas using a potato masher until smooth, measuring out the mashed banana afterward.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until slightly thickened and light.

Add in 3 tablespoons of almond butter, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, the mashed banana, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.

In another bowl, combine 1 and 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom, whisking to combine.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and swirl the topping mixture on top using a skewer or toothpick.

Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
