We are really trying to cut gluten out of our diet. So I have been experimenting with gluten free and grain free flours. This grain free banana bread is my second recipe using coconut flour. I think it came out pretty good! Coconut flour can be very tricky to bake with. You generally have to add extra moisture and also eggs to help bind. The dates in this recipe help bind.
One thing that is great about this recipe is that the whole thing can be made in the food processor. It also has no added sugar. I sweetened it with dates and bananas only. It’s super moist and delicious!

Grain Free Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 9 medjool dates
- 3 ripe bananas smashed
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 2 flax eggs
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In the food processor , mix the dates and bananas.
- Add in the coconut flour, eggs, almond butter, baking powder and cinnamon.
- Mix until everything is well combined.
- Spoon batter into a greased loaf pan or mini loaf pan . I used my mini loaf pan because I couldn’t seem to find my regular loaf pan .
- I baked mine for about 12-15 minutes.
Recipe Notes
If you are using a regular loaf pan , you will need to bake it a little longer. Wait until completely cooled before storing them in an airtight container. It should last a week or two in the fridge. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Enjoy!
