Banana Loaf
Published
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 55 minutes
Serves: 6 - 8
Ingredients
- 100g coconut flour
- 1tsp. gluten free baking powder
- 1tsp. cinnamon powder
- 225g very ripe bananas
- 75g Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
- 50g coconut sugar
- 100g nut butter – I have used almond and peanut butter, both work well
- 4 medium eggs
- Optional: Large handful of walnuts to stir through
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, gas mark 4. Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper (I cheat and buy cake liners!).
- Sift Coconut Flour, baking powder and cinnamon powder into a mixing bowl.
- Separate the eggs, adding the yolks to the flour mixture and place the whites in to a separate bowl.
- Whisk the eggs whites until stiff and set aside.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the flour mixture.
- Now whisk the flour ingredients, until blended together. Fold in the egg whites (you don’t have to be too careful with this, as you will not end up with a light fluffy cake, it is more of a loaf) (and the optional walnuts).
- Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 50 - 55 minutes. Test with a sharp knife or skewer to check if cooked - it should come out clean when inserted into the loaf.
- This tastes great served warm or cold. Try adding to your lunch box for a snack.

You can make it with or without walnuts
Enjoy!

Lucy & the family
A family story, rooted in gluten-free cooking
Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.
These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
