Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. This bread is only sweetened with a little bit of coconut sugar.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well. Do not directly substitute another flour.
- If needed, replace coconut sugar with brown sugar.
- Do not bake too long. This bread may look a little soft but will firm up as it cools.
- Wait until bread has fully cooled before slicing into.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.
