Coconut Flour Banana Bread

This Coconut Flour Banana Bread is a moist, dense quick bread made from coconut flour, ripe mashed bananas, eggs, butter, yogurt, and warm spices like cinnamon. The bread has a soft crumb with a subtle coconut flavor and nutty texture from added walnuts. It offers a grain-free alternative to traditional banana bread while still delivering moisture and sweetness from bananas and eggs.

Ingredients

  • 6 egg large
  • ⅓ cup butter melted, 75g
  • ¼ cup yogurt 60g, full fat or Greek
  • ¾ cup banana mashed with a fork, 180g, very ripe
  • ⅔ cup coconut flour 75g
  • ¼ cup granulated sweetener 50g, or to taste
  • 3 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅓ cup walnuts 40g, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (electric) or 160C / 320F (fan) and line a loaf tin with parchment paper. 
  2. Beat the eggs with an electric mixer until they have doubled in size. This takes about 2 minutes.
  3. Next, mash the banana. Add it to the whipped eggs together with the melted butter and yoghurt (plus vanilla extract, if using). Blend until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients - coconut flour, sweetener, cinnamon and baking powder. Add them to the egg mixture and blend again until smooth.
  5. Last, stir in the crushed walnuts, reserving some to sprinkle over the top.
  6. Fill in the banana bread batter and level the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the leftover nuts over the top.
  7. Bake for circa 35-40 minutes or until the middle has risen and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and flavor intensity.
  • Check bread at 30–35 minutes; cover loosely with foil once top is golden to prevent burning.
  • For moister texture, reduce baking time to around 35 minutes; smaller loaf pans require longer baking (45–50 minutes).
  • Optionally add a pinch of salt to dry ingredients or banana extract for enhanced flavor.
  • Store sliced bread wrapped and refrigerate; serve toasted or at room temperature.
