Organic Banana Nut Bread Recipe

 

I just love a great loaf of banana bread! Can banana bread be healthy for you? The answer to that question is: Absolutely! In this recipe, I use coconut flour which is a nice alternative flour that is gluten free and grain free. The bananas in this recipe naturally sweeten this loaf of bread allowing us to leave out the processed sugar that so many of us try to stay away from. Yes, there are a lot of eggs in this recipe, but organic eggs are so good for you. This morning instead of my 3 egg omelet that I usually have, I had 2 slices of this bread with some grass fed butter on them (you certainly don’t have to put on butter, I just like it that way), a little fruit and a nice cup of tea. This bread is perfect for breakfast or for snacking. So don’t throw away those overly ripe bananas! Mash them up and try out this wonderful recipe.

    oh great i have 4 over ripe bananas and i was thinking to put them in your coconut bread recipe so this is right on time !!!

    • Noel Medina says

      I did 1 big loaf. I noticed it wss only a 1/2 cup of the flour and wondered if that was enough. I have a soupy banana bread in my loaf pan. Now, did replace applesauce for the eggs.
      Any suggestions? It smells delicious but if I cook it any longer, it’s gonna burn.

        I was a little skeptical about using only 1/2 c of Coconut flour. However, I was pleased with the finished product. The next time I will use a more honey.
        Thanks

    Yes Elham , all ingredients are dsp approved. I would count 2 slices as 2 proteins and 1 carb. The bread is very filling.

    • Pam says

      How many servings in the large loaf? You have calorie count but don’t say how many servings you say 1 slice..how big is the slice??? How much fiber is in this recipe? I need to know so I can subtract that from the carbs to get net carbs …how many servings in the recipe??.

    Julia I am working on a post on how to use coconut flour 🙂 You can do this!

    Thank you so much for this! I recently stopped eating all wheat flour and ordered coconut flour about a month ago and here you are with this recipe!!! I am definitely trying it♥

  8. Catherine Garbus says

    Looking forward to that post Halle. Please include info on where it might be best to buy it….for a competitive price. Options aren’t that plentiful for some. I’m guessing you might have an online source? As always, thanks for your encouragement & genuine passion to help people cook healthier (and stay sane). :))) Darn those gluten free flours!

      If you have a “Sprouts” store nearby, they have it in bulk and reasonably priced. I think they’re only in the south or southeast US though.

    Success for me is when my girls come home from school and ask me for a second serving of my banana nut bread 🙂 This recipe is Kid approved!! 🙂

    Just made this. The texture is very close to regular banana bread. I don’t usually like the coconut flour too much, but this is good. I must have a sweet tooth because I want it to be sweeter. Maybe some steviva next time?
