Coconut Flour Banana Bread

Recipe adapted from Camilla over at the Power Hungry Blog!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 large, extremely ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (I used a combo)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract OR 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp almond extract (that’s what I did, because I ran out of vanilla! Lol)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • Optional: two small strawberries for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. You can either line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray the paper with oil, or just use a non-stick loaf pan like mine and spray it with oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, ginger, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash up the bananas until they are mostly free of lumps (some lumps are fine). Add in eggs and whisk together. Add in honey and vanilla and whisk together.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, a little at a time, stirring until it’s all blended and fairly smooth. Then whisk in your coconut oil!
  5. Scrape batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. The batter will be thick!
  6. Slice strawberries thin and place pieces on top of bread before baking.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, depending on your oven, or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool before removing from pan.
