Serving Suggestions

Slice the banana bread and enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh berries. You can also toast it and spread some nut butter on top for a delicious breakfast or snack.

Variations

Feel free to add some mix-ins to the batter, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. You can also swap out the coconut sugar for another sweetener, like maple syrup or honey.

Substitutions

If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use another oil of your choice. You can also use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar, but keep in mind that the nutritional information will change.

Tips

  • Make sure your bananas are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Don’t overmix the batter or your banana bread will be tough.
  • If your coconut oil is solid, melt it in the microwave or on the stove before using.
