Ooo yes — cozy baking energy 🍌🥥
Here’s a moist, naturally sweet Coconut Flour Banana Bread that actually works (coconut flour is picky).
Coconut Flour Banana Bread
🧁 Why Coconut Flour?
Coconut flour is high-fiber, gluten-free, and super absorbent, which means you need less flour and more moisture than traditional recipes.
🥣 Ingredients
-
3 ripe bananas, mashed
-
4 large eggs
-
¼ cup coconut oil, melted (or butter)
-
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
-
⅓ cup coconut flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp salt
Optional add-ins:
-
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
-
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, whisk bananas, eggs, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla.
-
In a separate bowl, mix coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir well. Batter will thicken quickly.
-
Fold in any add-ins.
-
Pour into pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cool completely before slicing (very important for texture!).
🌟 Tips for Success
-
Let the batter sit 2–3 minutes before baking so the coconut flour hydrates.
-
If bread feels too moist, it will firm up as it cools.
-
Overbaking dries it out — check early.
🔄 Easy Variations
-
Dairy-free: already is
-
Refined sugar-free: use honey or maple syrup
