Banana Carrot Cake Loaf with Cream Cheese Frosting

Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 180°C (360°F) and grease or line a 20×10 cm (8×4 inch) loaf pan.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, oat flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda together.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash the bananas and whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and melted coconut oil.
Add Carrot and Walnuts: Gently fold the grated carrot and chopped walnuts into the wet ingredients.
Combine: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare Frosting (Optional): Beat the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread or pipe the frosting on the cooled loaf and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
