Equipment

  • 9x5 large loaf pan

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (electric) or 160C / 320F (fan) and line a loaf tin with parchment paper. 
  • Beat the eggs with an electric mixer until they have doubled in size. This takes about 2 minutes.
  • Next, mash the banana. Add it to the whipped eggs together with the melted butter and yoghurt (plus vanilla extract, if using). Blend until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients - coconut flour, sweetener, cinnamon and baking powder. Add them to the egg mixture and blend again until smooth.
  • Last, stir in the crushed walnuts, reserving some to sprinkle over the top.
  • Fill in the banana bread batter and level the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the leftover nuts over the top.
  • Bake for circa 35-40 minutes or until the middle has risen and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

4.3g net carbs per slice. Makes 12 slices. 
Option to add a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients or use salted butter. 
Check the bread after 30-35 minutes. Once the top is golden brown, loosely place aluminium foil over the top so it does not burn.
I like my banana bread fluffy. For a moister, fudgier bread reduce the oven time to around 35 minutes. 
I used a regular size loaf pan. It's also possible to use a small 7 x 3.5 inch loaf pan. In this case, the oven time increases to around 45-50 minutes. 
Make sure you use an overripe banana as these are sweeter. Taste and adjust the sweetener if you have a sweet tooth. Also, option to add up to 6 drops of banana extract for a more intense banana flavor.
