Recipe - Coconut Flour Banana Bread


Ingredients
  • 3 ripe, peeled bananas (300 g, or about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup or coconut sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (39 g) coconut flour
Method
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C
  • Prepare a baking pan with baking paper, or grease generously.
  • Mash the bananas using a mixer or by hand in a large bowl. 
  • Add the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla to the mashed bananas and blend well.
  • Add the baking soda, salt, and coconut flour to the wet batter and blend well.
  • Let the batter sit for 5 minutes or so to give the coconut flour time to absorb the liquids.
  • Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 50 minutes or until the top begins to brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Cool fully and slice. This is very moist when first out of the oven but tends to firm up over time. Store covered for a few days at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few weeks, or seal and freeze for a few months.
