What You’ll Need to Make this Coconut Banana Bread:

• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 eggs at room temperature
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1.5 cups gluten-free flour
• 1/2 heaping cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 tablespoon baking powder

For the Coconut Cream you will need one can of full fat coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.

How to Make the Coconut Banana Bread:

First things first. To start, refrigerate the can of coconut milk the night before, allowing it to naturally separate into the creamy, thick part and the liquid portion.

Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, room temperature eggs, and honey, whisking or using an electric mixer until well combined.

Once that is well mixed, add the gluten-free flour, unsweetened coconut flakes, and salt, mixing until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Finally, add the baking powder and give it a gentle stir.

Baking

Pour this batter into a greased loaf pan or line the pan with parchment paper and smooth the top for an even bake.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

To elevate this coconut-infused experience, top the cooled Coconut Banana Bread with a generous pouring of coconut cream, made by chilling a can of full-fat coconut milk, scooping out the thick cream, and mixing it with a tablespoon of maple syrup and some of the liquid part of the coconut milk, until creamy yet pourable.

Finish it off with a sprinkling of coconut flakes for that final touch. Try this banana bread alongside a cup of tea, and you’ll feel like you’re on a tropical escape with each mouthwatering bite. It’s a heavenly combo that’s simply irresistible!
