I love to make this coconut flour banana bread recipe in rotation with my almond flour banana bread and oat flour banana bread!
I made coconut flour banana bread without any added sugar or sweetener, not even maple syrup or honey. Sounds just like coconut oil fudge from the other time, right?!
I had 8 bananas laying in a cupboard waiting to ripen, so they were all ready at once. Gluten-free banana bread with coconut flour here we come. It also happens to be grain-free, dairy-free and paleo!
Grain Free Date Nut Bread With Coconut Flour
A few years ago I was on a gluten-free kick for a bit and bought not 1 bag of coconut flour, but 2! Long gone its expiry date but it is still sitting and taking lots of room in my pantry.
So, I decided to experiment and what not a better way than with ripened bananas. Because apparently, I ripen them by pounds as well. So, this easy coconut flour banana bread is next!
Coconut flour is very tricky to bake with. It doesn’t contain gluten like wheat, that’s why this coconut flour banana bread wouldn’t rise like whole wheat banana bread.

It is also very “thirsty” and absorbs a lot of liquid. I used only 1/2 cup of flour for the entire loaf. I still have lots of it to use, so I made chocolatecoconut flour muffins with frozen cherries and they were delicious.
Also, you gotta use a lot of binding agent to keep things together. Many coconut flour recipes online use lots of eggs. Using 5-6 eggs per recipe didn’t sit well with me. But peanut butter, I could never say “no” to peanut butter. That’s how I was able to reduce the amount of eggs needed.
So, that is what happened 8 years ago when I first made this recipe. This coconut flour banana bread came out very tasty. I always judge by my 9 year old’s reaction because he is past the stage of a picky eater and food-related tantrums unlike my 4 year old. He loved it!
Banana Walnut Bread
The texture of the bread was very tender and the bread itself very moist with dominant peanut butter flavor. Thanks to peanut butter and coconut flour, I could keep the bread sweet without any added sugar which is always a plus.
Try it and let me know your thoughts. I’m going to warn you though, banana coconut flour bread has a different texture than traditional gluten bread. But looks quite normal, right?! Tastes pretty amazing too!
Store: Store leftovers in a cool dry place for 2 days, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for a few more days. This bread is moist, so mold can grow very quickly.
The Best Paleo Nut And Seed Bread
Freeze: Bake coconut flour banana bread and cool completely. Place in a zip-top gallon-size plastic bag or airtight container, let out as much air as possible and freeze for up to 3 months in the freezer.
No. All-purpose flour is made from wheat and contains gluten, it rises differently and needs different amount of liquid. Any wheat flour like whole wheat flour, spelt flour etc. should not be used for best results.
No. Almond flour are ground almonds and it does not absorb moisture the same way as coconut flour. Also you can use any other gluten-free flours.

Not really. As described above, my kids loved it! Peanut butter has very strong taste and overpowers the coconut flour quite well. Not to mention mashed banana flavor helps as well.

Welcome! I grew up in Ukraine watching my grandma cook with simple ingredients. I have spent the last 11 years making it my mission to help you cook quick and easy meals for your family!You asked, so I answered: might it be possible to make my 4-ingredient Power Bread (easily one of my favorite recipes, and featuring oats, nuts and/or seeds, and flaxseed meal) be made into a keto bread or Paleo bread?
Paleo Coconut Flour Bread Recipe
However, my original recipe calls for a considerable measure of oats. Specifically, 1 and 1/2 cups of rolled oats. The oats provide critical structure to the original recipe, perhaps with the right permutation of grain-free alternatives, I could create a tasty (and still sturdy) twist on my favorite bread.
Here’s the beauty of this bread: it is every bit as easy as the original. And delicious. And awesome. The texture is very close to the oat version, and yet…even better. Yup. Especially when toasted. It is:
When I first started experimenting with a grain-free option for the bread, I changed the proportions of psyllium, flax and water from the original. Further, I tried combining several grain-free flours. The batches were close, but still off, so I kept testing.
Delicious Bread With Coconut Flour And Nuts
My test loaves with (some) coconut flour showed the most promise, hence I added more coconut flour (I’m smart that way :)). The results were better still. Perhaps all coconut flour? I was in the home stretch, I just needed a few more adjustments. So I returned to my original proportions (of the other ingredients) plus coconut flour in place of he oats.
You can go with one type of seed or nut (e.g., 100% pepitas or 100% almonds) or round up whatever combination you like or have on hand.
If you have the time and inclination, toast what you gather (approximately 10 minutes at 350F/175C). Nothing wrong with adding some toasty flavor, anytime :).
Keto Walnut Bread
Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Surprise bonus: no chopping of the nuts or seeds required. Yay! This is my kind of breadmaking.
Add the water to the dry ingredients and stir. The mixture looks loose with the first turns of the spoon, but in a matter of seconds, the coconut flour, flaxseed meal and psyllium soak up the water. The result (in under a minute) is a thick, stiff, yet slightly moist dough.
I lined the loaf pan in my original power bread recipe, but not with this version. The coconut flour version browns better when baked directly in the pan.
Keto Coconut Flour Bread (low Carb, Nut Free, Paleo)
I left out a few seeds and nuts from the mix in order to press into the top (I was thinking of my photo ops). If you are not planning to photograph your loaf, you certainly do not need to follow my lead in this regard.
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Let the loaf stand while preheating as it allows for additional water absorption, as well as solidification of the loaf, before baking.
Once the oven is heated, bake the loaf for 55 to 65 minutes. The bread is ready when browned, the surface appears dry, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped near the center.

One completely cooled, the bread can be sliced thick, thin, or anywhere in between. I like mine about 1/4-inch (generous 1/4 inch) thick, which yields about 20 slices per loaf.
Store the bread in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 2 days, in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months.
For the most accurate results, weigh the coconut flour to measure (you will need 49 grams). If measuring by tablespoon, lightly spoon the flour to measure , as it is easy to overpack otherwise.

Yes, if you prefer to use chia seeds, you most definitely can, with a caveat: the chia seeds need to be ground into a meal. Grind the seeds in a food processor, blender, or coffee grinder and then use an equal amount of chia seed meal to replace the flaxseed meal.
Note that the color of the bread will be less brown (black chia seeds in place of brown flax). But it will still be 100% delicious!
No, psyllium is essential to the recipe. It is the super-binder that literally holds this bread together; the recipe will not work without it.

Coconut Flour Tip: For the most accurate results, weigh the coconut flour to measure (you will need 49 grams). If measuring by tablespoon, lightly spoon the flour to measure , as it is easy to overpack otherwise.
Nut and Seed Suggestions: Any nut or seed will work in this recipe, solo, or in combination. For example, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, pecans, peanuts, pepitas, or sunflower seeds.
Coconut Flour Banana Bread (gluten Free)
Weigh the Nuts and Seeds: I strongly urge the use of a scale to measure 200 grams worth of nuts or seeds. 1 and 1/2 cups is a general guideline for how much you need, but for best results, use a kitchen scale to measure 200 grams.
Hi Sumeeta, Hmm, I just checked and it is there (just making sure you are scrolling or jumping all the way down to the recipe card itself, not the post). It is in the second line of ingredients : 3/4 cup (78 g) flaxseed meal. Cheers.
Good morning, I thought I'd share my experience. I followed the
