Easy Banana Bread Recipe Coconut Flour

This coconut flour banana bread can be mixed together all in one bowl with 10 simple ingredients. It’s sweetened only with bananas, but still deliciously sweet!

Holy moly, this bread is SO good. Maybe even better than my best banana bread recipe?!? For what it’s worth, all of my taste testers (even those that aren’t gluten-free) agreed that this bread is straight up delicious.

And this banana bread recipe isnot only gluten-free, but it’s also grain-free, dairy-free and paleo.It’s flavorful and moist with a semi-crisp exterior and it’s easy to cut without being overly crumbly and falling apart.

Keto Coconut Flour Bread (low Carb, Nut Free, Paleo)

We’ve been eating this banana bread for breakfast, as a snack or as an after-dinner dessert. Isaac loves it warm (I pop it in the toaster oven for a few minutes to reheat), but I think it’s delicious at room temperature. I like that it’s portable as well — just last week I cut off a big chunk of the loaf and took it with me as a travel snack. Honestly, I was trying to save a slice to share with my friend, but I ended up eating it all while on the plane. Oops!

Coconut flour is a naturally gluten-free flour made from dried coconut meat that has been ground. It’s unsweetened, although the natural sugars in the coconut give coconut flour a mildly sweet flavor. Coconut flour contains more fiber than any other flour, making it especially filling. The high amount of fiber also makes coconut flour super absorbent so when using it for baking you typically can’t use it as a 1:1 sub for all-purpose flour or even almond flour.

Flour – As mentioned above, you can’t sub in another flour for coconut flour in most recipes so I don’t recommend using a different flour. This recipe was created specifically for coconut flour.

Eggs – I haven’t tried using a vegan substitute for the eggs in this recipe, but someone did let me know they used flax eggs and the bread turned out, but it didn’t rise as nicely and had a denser texture. Let me know in the comments below if you try a vegan version!

Almond Butter –You can use a different nut butter as a sub for the almond butter. You could also use tahini or sunflower seed butter if you need a nut-free option.

Coconut Oil – The coconut oil and almond butter replace traditional butter in this recipe, but if you don’t have coconut oil you can use butter or another oil instead.

Paleo Coconut Oil Banana Bread

Chocolate Chips – The great thing about this bread is that it’s sweetness comes from the banana and the chocolate chips, but you can totally skip the chocolate chips if you want this bread to be free from any added sugar. You could also sub in something else like blueberries for the chocolate chips!

Allow your banana bread to cool completely before storing. I recommend storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze banana bread for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat it, you can eat it cold or at room temp, but I prefer to heat it up in the toaster oven.

Easy Coconut Flour Banana Bread Recipe

This has to be one of the easiest recipes to make. We made everything in one bowl and you follow a simple 2-step process.

Banana

Start by adding the dry ingredients in a small bowl and whisking together until combined. In a large mixing bowl, add the bananas, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut oil and eggs until combined and smooth. Gently fold through the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. 

Now, transfer the batter into a lined loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely, before slicing and serving.

Best Ever Coconut Flour Banana Bread

For this recipe, coconut flour is key to achieve the perfect texture and flavor. If you’d like to use all purpose flour, try a vegan banana bread.

Both coconut and almond flour must be used in this recipe. The two flours balance each other out for a fluffy loaf. If you’d like to use just almond flour, try an almond flour banana bread.

I’m a two time cookbook author, photographer, and writer, and passionate about creating easy and healthier recipes. I believe you don’t need to be experienced in the kitchen to make good food using simple ingredients that most importantly, taste delicious.This is the best Coconut Flour Banana Bread you’ll ever try.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: Coconut flour is SO tricky to work with. You’d think by now, after developing recipes like my Coconut Flour Zucchini Bread, Coconut Flour Carrot Cake, and Coconut Flour Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, I would have a pretty good idea of how to make practically

However, it still took me 6 different attempts to get this recipe right. My picky toddler has deemed this coconut flour banana bread to be the “best ever, ” so I suppose my effort was worth it!

The resulting Coconut Flour Banana Bread is moist, without being gooey in the middle, and is also not overly sweet. It could still pass as “normal” banana bread, which is why I added just a touch of natural sweetener, but you could definitely omit the coconut sugar entirely if you don’t mind having a less-sweet bread for your family.

(See the notes below the recipe if you are interested in using maple syrup instead. I tested that, too, but the results are more moist.)

Buckwheat Banana Bread

Keep in mind that the riper your bananas are, the sweeter the banana bread will be, so be sure to use bananas with LOTS of black spots on their skin for best results.

When making this recipe, be sure to use the “scoop and swipe” method for measuring. I dip the measuring cup into the bag of coconut flour to get a heaping scoop, then use the back of a knife to swipe the excess off the top.

I’ve also included the weight of the ingredients in grams in the recipe below, if you prefer to measure using a food scale.

Bowl Gluten Free Banana Bread

Like most coconut flour recipes, this one does require more eggs than a recipe using any other type of flour. Coconut flour is freakishly absorbent, and because of that it requires eggs for both structure and moisture.

Trust me when I say that I used as few eggs as necessary to produce a good result. On the bright side, the eggs do give this bread more protein in each slice.

Coconut Flour Banana Bread (paleo, Gluten Free, Keto)

Coconut flour tends to stick to pans more than other varieties of flour, so I like to line my loaf pan with parchment paper to guarantee the banana bread will easily release from the pan later.

To make your life easier, spray the pan with a little bit of oil, then press the parchment paper into the bottom of the pan. The light
