How to make paleo banana bread

Paleo banana bread is easy to make. We add fresh strawberries and chocolate chunks, but you can omit them, if desired. Combine banana, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract and coconut oil together in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Then stir in the coconut flour, salt and baking power. Line a 9″x5″ loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour about 1/3 of the batter without the strawberries into the pan. Fold in the strawberries and chocolate chunks, if using, into the remaining batter. Pour the batter into the pan. Top with additional sliced strawberries and extra chocolate chunks, if desired.

Bake the paleo banana bread in the oven at 350 degrees F for 50 to 55 minutes. A tester should come out of the center with moist crumbs. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips for this coconut flour banana bread

  • Using 1/2 cup to 1 cup of coarsely chopped strawberries ensures the best consistency and flavor. Keep in mind that strawberries retain a lot of water, so too many strawberries will make the bread too moist. After making this recipe many times, we consistently have good results will up to 1 cup of berries.
  • 1 cup of thawed frozen fruit often contains more moisture than fresh fruit. We do not recommend using frozen fruit for this recipe.
  • You can omit the chocolate chunks, if desired.
  • Coconut flour replaces regular all purpose flour in this recipe to make it paleo compliant.
  • Use ripe but not overly ripe bananas. Bananas with a few brown specks are perfect.

Dairy free chocolate chip banana bread

To make this recipe dairy and egg free, substitute the three eggs for flax eggs and ensure your chocolate chips are dairy free too. All the other ingredients are dairy free! We love using the Enjoy Life dairy free chocolate chips

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups (470ml) mashed bananas , (from about 3 large or 4 small ripe bananas)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup , (or honey or agave)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (52g) coconut oil, melted
  • 2/3 cup (64g) coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (gluten free or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chunks or chocolate chips, (Use Enjoy Life or other gluten free and paleo chocolate chips)

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Line a 9×5” (23×13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a spoon or rubber spatula, stir together the banana, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut oil until well combined.
  • Stir in the coconut flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour about ⅓ of the batter without strawberries into the pan. This will help prevent the strawberries from falling to the bottom.
  • Fold in the strawberries, and chocolate chunks if using, and pour the rest of the batter into the pan. Top with some sliced strawberries and extra chocolate chunks if desired. Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a tester comes out of the center with moist crumbs. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or wrap the loaf well and freeze for up to 6 months. Enjoy!
