Coconut Flour Banana Bread (Sugar-free, Gluten-free)
Tender coconut flour banana bread without any gluten or sugar, or another sweetener, that will really fill you up and provide a lot of health benefits. You will definitely like this combination of coconut and bananas in this tasty and especially healthy breakfast bread.
Thanks to coconut flour, it is rich in fiber, naturally gluten-free and contains less carbohydrates than classic wheat-flour banana bread. What is the next advantage, you won't need any sugar or other sweetener for sweetening, bananas in the dough will take care of the sweet taste. If you don't have coconut flour at home by now, I definitely recommend buying it - it is very healthy, tasty, you need to use much less of it in recipes than of other flours (so it will last long). Additionally, I have many coconut flour recipes for you on my website, that are worth trying out. This healthy coconut flour bread with sweet bananas is clearly one of them.
Coconut flour is made of ground coconut meat. It contains almost no carbohydrates, and since it’s rich in fiber, it can absorb a lot of liquid. Two spoons of coconut flour contain 6g of fiber, only 1.5g of fat, and 3.5g of protein. This nutritional value improves every recipe. One of the best advantages of coconut flour is that you don’t have to use as much of it as other flour types. As a general rule, ¼ cup coconut flour corresponds to 1 cup all-purpose flour. Thanks to coconut flour, your baked goods will be healthy, fluffy, and light. Coconut flour is gluten-free, easier to digest, satisfies your appetite, and eliminates sweet cravings and ravenous hunger. It helps with weight loss and cleans your digestive system.
