Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Add 113 g of softened butter to a mixing bowl.

Next, add 170 g of light brown sugar and mix together until there are no butter chunks.

Break 2 large ripe bananas into chunks and add them into the butter and sugar mixture.

Add 2 large eggs and 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream; mix together to combine.

Add 64 g of almond butter and mix to combine again.

Add 191 g of all-purpose flour, 3/4 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and salt; fold together to combine completely.

Transfer the batter to a 1 lb loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

If using a different type of loaf pan, grease it well or line it with parchment paper.

Slip the top of the batter with a butter knife right before baking.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cut the banana bread into slices and enjoy alone or with a big slab of butter on top.
