How to Make Paleo Banana Bread

Despite coconut flour’s reputation as being dense and “coconutty” this recipe is far from that fallacy. In fact, it is moist and full of sweet banana flavor. For those who are sensitive to the coconut taste, you may find a hint within, but nothing that is overly bearing.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a bread pan with parchment paper.

Tip: The parchment paper is used to remove the bread easily from the pan once baked and makes for easy cleanup! If you do not have parchment paper on hand, grease your bread pan with coconut oil.

2. In a large bowl, mash bananas, and then whisk in eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla.

3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt. Then slowly mix into the large bowl for 1 minute or until everything is evenly combined.

Tip: (Optional) Fold in chopped walnuts, pecans, unsweetened cranberries, or chocolate chips here.

4. Pour batter into the prepared bread pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until firm to touch and the top is browned.

Tip: Cool in pan completely before removing the parchment paper and cutting the bread.

There is nothing more satisfying than the smell of freshly baked bread coming out of the oven… well, maybe there is?

How to Store Paleo Banana Bread

Store banana bread in an airtight container on the counter for 2 days or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

If you do not have a large family, cut banana bread into slices and place in between parchment paper and freeze in an airtight freezer-safe container. Remove slices out as needed and defrost in the microwave or in the toaster.

Essential Equipment to Make Paleo Banana Bread

Bread Pan – A standard sized bread pan (5x9x3-inch) is used to shape the bread.
