Made with nutrient-rich coconut flour, this bread is not only gluten-free but also pairs the natural sweetness of bananas with the rich flavor of maple syrup. It's the perfect treat for those looking for a delicious and health-conscious baking option.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the banana bread.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the 3 eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
To the eggs, add the 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix everything together until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mash the 2 bananas until smooth. Then add them to the wet ingredient mixture and mix thoroughly.
In another bowl, combine the 1 cup of coconut flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure they are evenly mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thicker than traditional banana bread batter due to the coconut flour.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Once the bread is fully cooled, slice it and enjoy! It's perfect as-is or with a bit of your favorite spread.
Your Easy Coconut Flour Banana Bread is now ready to be enjoyed! With its moist texture and delightful flavor, this bread is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. Whether you’re following a gluten-free diet or just want to try something new, this banana bread recipe is sure to become a new favorite.

The banana bread is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The bread should feel firm to the touch.
You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup, keeping in mind the flavor profile may change. For a lower-sugar option, consider using mashed dates or a sugar substitute that measures similarly.

- Add a handful of nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for an extra crunch or burst of flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer shelf life.
