I made this today and totally thought it was going to be a fail. I actually wanted to use almond flour but I ran out so I had to improvise and add coconut flour instead which was absolutely delicious. This banana bread is so easy and anyone can enjoy it. If you feel like adding almond flour instead you will have to add more and go based on consistency because coconut flour is very absorbent and we always use a lot less in recipes.

I made this today and totally thought it was going to be a fail. I actually wanted to use almond flour but I ran out so I had to improvise and add coconut flour instead which was absolutely delicious. This banana bread is so easy and anyone can enjoy it. If you feel like adding almond flour instead you will have to add more and go based on consistency because coconut flour is very absorbent and we always use a lot less in recipes. For this recipe you will need:
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk — or any
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup avocado oil — or any
- ½ cup maple syrup — or any sweetener you like
- pinch of salt
- 1 ¼ – 1.5 cups coconut flour depending on how big the eggs and bananas are
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F. In a bowl mash the bananas and stir in the first 7 ingredients.
- Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda and stir. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and add in the batter.
- It will be really sick so with clean hands or the back of a spoon distribute it evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes depending on the oven or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Mine took 60 minutes. Enjoy,
Notes
If you use almond flour you will definitely need more as coconut flour is extremely absorbent and we require a lot less of it. I used 1.5 cups of coconut flour but you might need a little bit less depending on how big the eggs and bananas are. Feel free to use any sweetener, oil, or milk of choice

Hello –
Wondering if you could replace the coconut flour with oat flour?
Thank you 🙂
Hi Anna,
yes you can but you have to do this by eye as you might need more. Coconut flour is more absorbent that oat flour so keep that in mind.
Is the amount of oil of 1/2 cup correct?
It seems a lot.
Thank you
It is, you can definitely reduce if you wish
Hi Modern Nonna,
Thank you for this recipe !!
I was wondering if I could replace the eggs with flax eggs or if you could let me know what the purpose of the eggs are in this recipe and I could search online for a possible replacement.
Thank you 🙂
Hi Tash! I haven’t tried but you definitely need to try an egg replacement like flax egg chia egg or apple sauce
Can we add walnuts and chocolate chips to it?
Absolutely
