What Makes This Recipe So Good
This bread combines the creamy sweetness of bananas with a tropical twist from coconut. It’s moist, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy breakfast or a sweet snack any time of day.
Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 9x5-inch loaf pans if they’re metal or glass, or just use silicone pans without greasing. In a big bowl, combine the coconut flour, all-purpose flour, xylitol, coconut sugar, flaxseed meal, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mash up the bananas and mix them with melted butter, coconut milk, and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk everything together until smooth and lump-free. Gently fold in the macadamia nuts. Divide the batter evenly among the pans and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Let the loaves cool for a bit on a wire rack before taking them out of the pans. They’re great served warm!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular sugar instead of xylitol and coconut sugar?
Yes, you can substitute with an equal amount of regular granulated sugar, but the flavor and sweetness may vary slightly.
What can I use instead of ground flaxseed meal?
You can replace it with chia seed meal or omit it, but it helps with texture and binding.
Can I make this bread gluten-free?
This recipe uses all-purpose flour, so to make it gluten-free, substitute with a gluten-free flour blend suitable for baking.
How ripe should the bananas be for best results?
Use overripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest flavor and best moisture.
Can I freeze the bread after baking?
Yes, let the loaves cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
Do I have to use macadamia nuts?
No, the nuts are optional and can be omitted or swapped with other nuts if preferred.
Why do I need to grease the pans if using metal or glass?
Greasing prevents sticking and makes it easier to remove the bread; silicone pans don’t require greasing.
How do I know when the bread is fully baked?
Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs, the bread is done.
