I've tried numerous coconut flour recipes over the years, and this is the best coconut flour banana bread I've ever tasted. It's naturally gluten-free, Paleo, and made with no added oil.

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • ¾ cup coconut flour
  • 5 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional toppings)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add in the coconut flour, eggs, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Use a whisk to stir the batter well, breaking up any lumps so a smooth batter is formed.
  • Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and sprinkle walnuts or chocolate chips on top, if desired. Bake until the center of the loaf has risen and started to crack, feeling firm to the touch, about 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Because this loaf is moist, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge for the best shelf life. It should last up to 5 days when stored in the fridge, though you might eat it all before then!

Notes

Nutrition information is for 1 of 10 slices. This information is automatically calculated, so it's just an estimate, not a guarantee.
Update Note: This recipe was updated in August 2025 to use only baking powder as the leavener. This improves the flavor and makes sure the center isn't soggy. (It previously called for a teaspoon each of baking soda and powder.)
Substitution Notes: I do not recommend using another flour or an egg substitute in this recipe. If you need an egg-free recipe, try my Vegan Banana Bread instead, which is also gluten-free. 
Serving Suggestion: I like topping each slice with peanut butter to help hide the coconut flavor even more.
