Banana Bread

🌿 Wholesome Coconut Flour Banana Bread

A lighter, nutrient-rich twist on the classic—naturally sweet, gluten-free, and deeply comforting.

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or extra-virgin olive oil)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Warm oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly oil.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk mashed bananas, eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Let batter rest 2–3 minutes—coconut flour absorbs liquid.
  4. Fold: Add optional nuts or chocolate if desired.
  5. Bake: Pour batter into pan and bake 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden.
  6. Cool & serve: Allow loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice thick and enjoy warm or room temp.

Serving Notes

This bread is naturally gluten-free, lower in carbs, and rich in protein thanks to the eggs and coconut flour. Serve with almond butter, Greek yogurt and berries, or a drizzle of raw honey for a breakfast that feels indulgent yet balanced.
