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!

What do you mean by whole milk yogurt?

I am new to coconut flour, and try and keep to a lower carb, whole-ish food diet.  I followed this recipe exactly, and added some toasted pecans. It was outstanding. It tastes like it has sugar, or some sort of sweetner. It is indistinguishable from traditional banana bread. Just super!

I have made this several times now, and I have a few hints, if I may…

-Grease the pan like there’s no tomorrow
-The batter doesn’t rise much, so pour it into the pan almost as high as you want the loaf to be when it’s done.
-I have also substituted the bananas with an equal amount of canned pumpkin. It’s equally fantastic.

THOSE THAT HAVE BAKED THIS RECIPE, CAN YOU TELL ME IF THE BREAD IS THICK OR IS IT AIRY? I DON’T LIKE SUPER THICK BREAD. I DO LIKE BANANA NUT BREAD BUT HAVEN’T TRIED IT WITH OTHER FLOURS YET.

Any word on using coconut oil instead of butter? 

Also, any substitutes for whole milk yogurt? Has anyone tried fat free to see what happens?

I have used oil each time I make this recipe.  Works great.

So much butter, think I’ll save the butter for the topping and substitute coconut oil in the bread it works great in all my cookie recipes.

It is a whole milk yogurt. Not two separate things. This just means don’t use low fat, fat free yogurt.

I had the same question about the milk/yogurt ingredient, Bea.  Still no answer?

In the recipe, do you mean milk and yogurt or either one?
Thanks, the recipe looks great and I want to try soon

This is a really good recipe.  Great taste and texture.  It’s really good with some nuts and chocolate chips mixed directly into the bread too.

I love tea breads like this but hate bananas.  Have you tried this with any other fruits like soft pears?
