I read somewhere that you can substitute half arrowroot and half coconut flour for regular flour and then add more eggs…so keeping that in mind, I found a regular banana bread recipe, converted it to coconut flour and arrowroot, substituted honey for the sugar and added extra eggs (I’ve heard 4 eggs per 1 cup coconut flour). And…this was the end result!
Banana Bread
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 2 1/2 bananas)
5 eggs
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup butter or coconut oil (melted)
3/4 cup honey
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup arrowroot
3/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease one 9×5 bread pan.
2. Put mashed bananas, eggs, applesauce, butter or oil, honey and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well.
3. Add dry ingredients and mix well.
4. Pour batter into prepared bread pan and bake at 300 degrees for (EDIT): 50 minutes – 1 hour and 20-25 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.

Thank you for this recipe! I had read that arrowroot is very good for you so I purchased a huge bag from my co-op, but I never knew how to incorporate it into my recipes. I made this banana bread the other day and it turned out great. Maybe not exactly like glutenous banana bread, but certainly more like “real” banana bread then the coconut flour version I had been making previously. I actually omitted the sweetener altogether and found it perfect.

I’m glad you liked it! I’m glad it was good without the sweetener as well!

I love this Banana Bread! I am putting this recipe in my Favorites Book. Thank you so much. I was able to reduce the sweetener a bit by adding some liquid stevia and I didn’t have any applesauce but it worked out great anyways. YUM
