Serves: 12 slices

Ingredients

4 eggs
4 medium ripe bananas, mashed
2 T honey, melted
100mls coconut oil, melted
Zest of 1 lemon
1 t vanilla essence
½ c coconut flour
½ c almond flour
2 t baking powder
¼ t salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
To make the Lemon Coconut Bread, place eggs, bananas, honey, coconut oil, lemon zest and vanilla essence in a bowl and mix until combined.
Add dry ingredients and stir to evenly combine (it is quite a wet mixture but coconut flour is very absorbent so it will thicken). Pour into loaf tin and allow to sit for 5 minutes until it swells.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. You may need to cover with tinfoil after about 30 minutes of cooking time if the top is turning too brown.
Allow to stand in loaf tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Store in an airtight container in the pantry or freezer.
Top Tip: Coconut flour is one of the only flours that can’t be swapped out one for one with other flours due to its dense texture and the fact it requires a lot of liquid.
