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.

Can I use molasses instead of the honey?
I did these as muffins with 1/4 C Chocolate chips added. SO GOOD!
I added a tablespoon of flaxmeal, chia seeds and sunflower seeds, 1/2 c. carrots, and some dried cranberries. What great texture!!! But the flavor was awful!!! With 1 T. of honey, I can see why. Next time I make this recipe, I will add Xylitol. I needed to bake the one 5 x 9 loaf 20 extra minutes. Thanks for sharing all.
This looks GREAT!! I wasn’t sure when to add the walnuts? So I just added them with the flour, and sprinkled on top. Is that what you did? Thank you so much!!!
i just made this and it tastes so good, but just falls apart. it’s so crumbly, not at all the consistency of real banana bread. did i do something wrong?
Have you ever worked with coconut flour before. It has a different texture, and this is what you are most likely experiencing.
Just desire to say your article is ass surprising. The clarity in your post iss
just nijce and i cann assume you are an expert onn this subject.
Well with your permission let me to grab your feed to keep up
to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please
continue the gratifying work.
Just made this bread and very impressed. First time using coconut flour. Next time I need to add more honey for sweetness.
So happy to hear! 🙂
Im worried! I have only 1/4 of coconut flour, and 1/4 of almond flour!! And I have already mixed it together.. I am really hop in it still works out
I’ve made this a few time, and every time I get worried when I put it in the over, because it’s super moist, but it always cooks to perfection. I highly recommend this recipe, it’s so fluffy, yet filling, and really not too sweet which is nice. I’ve tried adding 1/2 cup walnuts, and it works really well. Thank you for this awesome recipe!!
Happy you are enjoying it! Thanks for the kind words 🙂
I’m wondering if this recipe would work with more banana and less egg? Or is it the egg that gives it a fluffier texture? I tried a different recipe last night (before I came across this one) that called for 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana and only 3 eggs to a 1/4 cup of coconut flour, while it has amazing flavor (didn’t need to add the honey) I found it to be too flat and wet. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
So good! I changed things a tad being a had no coconut flour, only almond flour. I ground the walnuts by hand. Blackstrap molasses and a little agave as well as the raw honey helped with the sweetness in order to make sure my 4 yr old will eat it. I still didn’t add too much so its just sweet enough! Its almost like a banana bread custard. Oh and extra vanilla of course! Thank u!
Hello 🙂 this recipe look awesome!!! I bought all the ingredients but please can you measure the amounts in GRAMS? Thank you!!!!
Also the coconut oil must be unrefined? I’ve got the one with coconut smell the raw one.
