Ingredients

For the banana bread

For the soaking mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cups canned coconut milk light or full-fat will work
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the caramelized bananas

Instructions

  • Grease one 9"x5" loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • In a large bowl or mixer, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, coconut oil, vanilla extract and nut butter until fully combined.
  • Add the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for about ½ hour. Flip out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
  • Once the banana bread is completely cool, slice it into 1” thick slices.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and grease wth a bit of coconut oil. Soak each slice of banana bread in the egg coconut milk mixture. Place in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately with caramelized bananas.

For the caramelized bananas

  • Melt the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas in an even layer and sprinkle the coconut sugar on top. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar has caramelized, coating the bananas. Serve immediately with banana bread french toast.
