How’s this toasted coconut banana bread made…
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees, spray a loaf pan (I used metal) with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with sticky sweetener, applesauce, coconut oil, vanilla, and lemon juice. Whisk in the eggs.
- In other medium bowl, mix together with a whisk, almond flour, flax seed meal, coconut flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix gently until incorporated. Sprinkle coconut over top of bread then sugar.
- Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check after 45 minutes and turn the pan around after 20 minutes for even baking. You may need to cover pan with tin foil to keep the top from getting too dark. Test by poking a toothpick into the middle. If it comes out clean and not wet, the bread is done. Let cool on wire rack for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Then, invert onto a wire rack. Cool another 20 minutes and slice up!
