photo by recipe author

Servings: 6-8
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

2 large/3 small bananas, ripe and mashed
3/4 cup coconut flour
6 eggs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup whole milk, plain yogurt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of sea salt

Maple Nut Butter

1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ºF. Grease a 1 pound loaf pan.

Combine all ingredients for bread and blend until thoroughly mixed. Continue blending on medium speed for 1 minute to allow coconut flour to soak up the liquids.

Pour batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Allow bread to set and cool slightly before removing from pan. Slice and enjoy topped with a dollop of sweet & creamy maple nut butter!

Maple Nut Butter:

Slice butter and bring to room temperature. Using a food processor or nut chopper, finely chop the walnuts. Add butter, syrup, and cinnamon and whip (with a hand blender) until light and fluffy.

Spread onto freshly baked banana bread!

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 15

16 oz full fat coconut milk*
2 pasture raised egg yolks (optional, makes it creamier)
1 cup cacao butter, shaved and melted
1/4-1/2 cup granulated sugar (if using a liquid sweetener, start with 1/4 cup)**
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Place all of the ingredients into a blender and combine.

Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the instructions for the machine. You can also freeze it in a loaf pan if you don’t have an ice cream maker.

Variations

* For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)

**Using honey or maple syrup is going to give this a bit of a different taste compared to granulated sweetener.

Consuming raw eggs is not a concern of mine since I buy farm fresh eggs from Tropical Traditions. You can certainly leave them out or temper the eggs.
