Ingredients

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

  • 3g net carbs per slice. Makes 12 slices. 
  • Option to add a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients or use salted butter. 
  • Check the bread after 30-35 minutes. Once the top is golden brown, loosely place aluminium foil over the top so it does not burn.

  • I like my banana bread fluffy. For a moister, fudgier bread reduce the oven time to around 35 minutes. 
  • I used a regular size loaf pan. It's also possible to use a small 7 x 3.5 inch loaf pan. In this case, the oven time increases to around 45-50 minutes. 
  • Make sure you use an overripe banana as these are sweeter. Taste and adjust the sweetener if you have a sweet tooth. Also, option to add up to 6 drops of banana extract for a more intense banana flavor.
