While I prefer my new reduced natural sugar almond muffins, my husband still likes the original best. Like the almond muffins, my banana bread has been tasting too sweet to me, so I modified it a bit also. I like to test my food on my neighbors who eat typical American food—lots of wheat, soda, etc. I've been eating gluten/casein/refined-sugar free for a long time, so I like getting their opinion. They loved this reduced natural sugar banana bread.For 2 loaves:
Add to bowl:
4 mashed bananas8 room temp eggs (cold eggs will harden the coconut oil)
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut sugar
6 tbs liquified coconut oil or ghee
1/2 tsp vanilla creme liquid stevia
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 cup coconut flour, sifted
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder (Grain-free Baking Powder Recipe)
1 cup chopped walnuts
6 tbs liquified coconut oil or ghee
1/2 tsp vanilla creme liquid stevia
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 cup coconut flour, sifted
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder (Grain-free Baking Powder Recipe)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Beat with electric mixer.
Line the bottom of two loaf pans with unbleached parchment paper, then grease the paper and the walls.
Divide the batter into the pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes

Hi there,
I love your site!! Do you know if coconut sugar is legal on the scd/ gaps diet? I can't seem to tolerate honey yet, so I was thinking that this might be an alternative.
Thanks!!

This looks great...coconut flour is something I'm learning to work with. I still haven't figured out how to be successful with it on a regular basis. Sometimes it's just way too moist and other times way too dry. I did hit the nail on the head once, and I was so proud of myself. I am glad to know that you use other flours, too, like tapioca. It probably lends some lightness.
Have you ever tried adding cocoa powder to this bread to make it a chocolate banana bread? Was wondering if that would work, as I have bananas I need to use and am desperately craving chocolate!
Thanks!
I haven't done that, but I bet it would work if you left out some of the coconut flour. Sounds yummy!
Elizabeth,
Sorry I missed your question! I don't know. Are other low glycemic index alternatives allowed, like agave? I think coconut sugar is less processed than agave if that helps at all.
Wondered why you use the vanilla stevia? and if I wanted to substitute (still pricing where to get a good deal on it).....what would I use. Agave, more honey, vanilla extract? Thanks. Enjoying your use of coconut flour!
I love the flavor and sweetness the Vanilla Creme Stevia gives baked goods. If you're using unflavored stevia I would add vanilla extract. I use stevia because it's low on the glycemic index, and super-concentrated. So I only need a little stevia plus a little honey to make a recipe sweet, compared to conventional recipes with a cup or more of refined white sugar.
