This is the best Coconut Flour Banana Bread you’ll ever try. It’s easy to make, not overly sweet, and reminds me of the real thing– without using gluten or dairy.
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.)
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.
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.
Almond Flour Banana Bread
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 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 coating of oil will hold the parchment paper in place, so it doesn’t wiggle around while you pour the batter in!

I slightly modified this recipe to help prevent the soggy middle that some readers were reporting, and I added the weights for those who like to be exact with a kitchen scale.
If you are still in love with the original version, I only changed 3 things: I reduced the number of bananas from 4 to 3, I added a teaspoon of baking powder to help it rise even more, and I increased the coconut sugar from 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup. Feel free to change these things back if you prefer the original recipe.

A slice of fresh homemade bread doesn't have to be full of carbs and gluten to taste good. With this simple paleo and gluten free Coconut Flour Breadrecipe you can enjoy a delicious low carb and keto sandwich anytime you feel like it.
I've had a fascination with coconut flour for over 3 years now. The main reason being that everyone said it was difficult to work with - and it is, if you've never worked with coconut flour before and don't know what you're doing. It behaves nothing like traditional wheat flour and - consequently - it took me many months of experimenting to consistently get it right.
My first big coconut flour success were these amazing Coconut Flour Pumpkin Muffins. I was hooked. I wanted to not only learn everything I could about coconut flour, but also how best to cook and bake with it.
Low Carb Keto Banana Bread Recipe (almond Flour)
It greatly helped that my entire family absolutely loved the gluten free coconut flour muffins I had started making. After posting pictures and the recipe for them on this blog, they received a ton ofraving comments. This ultimately lead me to continue experimenting and - slowly - figure out how to make delicious coconut flour mug cakes and pancakesas well.
Those three recipes were a huge success. So I decided to focus in on them and write a digital eCookbook in which I shared the ins and outs ofCoconut Flour Muffins, Pancakes & Mug Cakes.You can get itHERE!
Not long after publishing the eCookbook, I also wanted to figure out how to make bread using coconut flour. In fact, I've been testing coconut flour bread recipes for over 6 months now. Crazy, right? I know!
Vegan Coconut Flour Flax Bread (grain Free, Oil Free)
I started out with trying a few coconut flour bread recipes I found online. Some ended up dry, gritty, or eggy, while others tastedgreat but the process was overly involved or the batter ended up overflowing and baking onto my oven floor.
So - after many months of trial and error - I came up with this simple coconut flour bread recipe that is:
It's literally as easy as putting all the ingredients into a blender (I love my Vitamixfor this), then pouring the batter into a parchment lined loaf pan. Since this is a gluten free recipe there is no danger of 'over-developing' the gluten in the blender.

If you don't have or don't want to use a blender, you can also mix the batter by hand with a wooden spoon or your handheld mixer.
Reader Bobby commented that one way to avoid too dense coconut flour bread, is to separate the eggs and to whip the egg whites until stiff. And to gently fold them into the batter as final step.
Usually I try to keep my recipes processes as simple as possible. This includes keeping ingredient lists short and using fewer tools, bowls, and utensils.
Low Carb Coconut Flour Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free)
It's because I know life is busy for all of us - me included. And fewer dishes to wash are always a good thing!
Personally, I never found my coconut bread to be too dense, but after hearing from a few commenters running into this issues, I wanted to see if simply using a slightly different method would have different results.
So I prepared the batter in a bowl (instead of the blender) and started by separating the eggs. The egg yolks went into the big bowl to be combined with the other wet ingredients.

While I whisked the egg whites (using the whisk attachment of my immersion blender) until they were very stiff. You know they are stiff enough when you can invert the bowl and the egg whites remain unmoved.
I then proceeded to prepare the rest if the batter with all remaining ingredients. As final step I added the stiff egg whites to the bowl and gently folded them into the batter.
It is really important not to stir or whisk too vigorously here, since you don't want to deflate the egg whites again. At this point I noticed that the batter did indeed look lighter in colour and airier in texture.

While the bread was baking in the oven, it rose higher and more quickly. And it remained that way during the baking process and even while cooling.
Going forward I'll continue separating the eggs and whisking the egg whites for this recipe -
