Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup Bananas very ripe, mashed, about 3 bananas
- ¼ cup Almond Butter creamy
- 2 Eggs large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Almond extract would be delicious as a replacement!
- ½ cup Coconut Flour
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ⅓ cup Mini Chocolate Chips or dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9-inch by 5-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Using a food processor or electric blender in a large mixing bowl, blend together the bananas, almond butter and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Add the eggs and blend with the mixture.
- Fold in by hand the cinnamon, baking soda, salt into the batter. Last, fold in the coconut flour and chocolate chips. Be cautious to over mix as coconut flour is very absorbent.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake in the oven 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick can be removed from the center clean.
- Remove from the oven and place the bread on a wire baking rack to cool at least for 30 minutes. I recommend cooling the bread fully before removing from the pan and slicing. When ready, remove the bread from the pan carefully and slice into 12 slices.
Notes
- Refrigerator: I recommend keeping this coconut banana bread in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 7 days. While you can keep it at room temperature in a container, it will lose its freshness after 2-3 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze banana bread but no longer than 60 days in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy your banana bread, remove it from the freezer to thaw the night before in the refrigerator.
- Don't Over Mix the Batter: Gently fold the ingredients until just combined. Over mixing can cause the bread to become dense instead of light and fluffy.
- Line with Parchment Paper: Always use parchment paper to line your baking pan. Coconut flour can cause the bread to stick, and this ensures it comes out easily after baking.
- Let it Cool: Cool the bread completely before removing it from the pan. This ensures cleaner and more even slices, especially with coconut flour.
