Coconut flour can’t be substituted one for one with almond flour. It’s way more absorbent and you would need less. Look for conversions.

I have some bananas that some may consider medium or small.

I add about a cup of chopped walnuts and bake it in a muffin pan. I’ve also made it in a loaf but I found that it cooks unevenly, maybe just my oven, so we prefer the muffins.

I used almond flour & almond milk to make banana nut muffins. Baked at 350 for 20 – 22 minutes & they came out great!

I also made banana nut muffins & added 1/2 to 1 cup Wildway Grain Free Banana Nut Granola finely chopped to the mix (available at Natutal Grocers). Bake at 350 20 -22 minutes. Nutty & Delicious!

I couldn’t advise you use very much of it, as it’s won’t quite work as a “bread.” But 1/4 of your flour mixture can be coconut flour.

I did erred on the oven temperature as I converted to Celsius and the oven was a bit high which meant the bread very toasty at the top and cooked unevenly inside.

My son also has a coconut radar- he seems to prefer food without coconut, so this works for him. The advantage is that coconut milk most often does not leave a strong enough coco taste for him to reject the cake.

I love this versatile recipe.

Dr. Axe, God has used you to pull us out of utter darkness.

After years of me and my children suffering from eczema- plus my daughter from a mysteriously chronic swollen throat- my son from almost suffocating to death from seemingly random asthma (no one in the family had it before) before he was two- i stumbled upon your website. i followed your advice to see what would happen. All our health problems vanished into thin air.. and even other problems… cutting out the sugar almost erased period pains and so i decided to totally avoid sugar a few weeks before giving birth. I also lost weight- though i never thought i was fat- i no longer have to struggle with the extra pounds that used to appear in winter. life is just so much easier, until the children insist on a croissant every now and then.. all the problems return
Thank you for the light

(Organic peaches are too expensive to waste. ) Put in about 1/4 cup of frozen raspberries, a little Grand Marnier, and maple syrup for my sweetener. And added about 1/4 tsp of ground cloves with the cinnamon. Crazy Eights delicious.

1 C almond flour
1 C finely ground and lightly toasted almond meal
+/- ¼ C oatmeal
Toasted pecans
Craisins
Sprinkle of ground flaxseed
Twice the cinnamon

I cooked it about 15-20 minutes longer
Sprinkled a little turbinado sugar on top while still hot

REALLY GOOD!!

Hi Fran, you can use coconut flour. The consistency and texture may vary slightly.

I understand your position, but some of your readers, well at least one, deal with T2 Diabetes and in my case insulin dependence. I sure would like more nutrition information. We all know that coconut flour is a carbohydrate and elevates blood glucose.

Thank you for the reply! I have your Slow Cooker Barbacoa recipe stewing away right now! Keeping my fingers crossed that the kids like it!
I just purchased a copy of your book “The Real Food Diet”. Looks like some great recipes. The reason I am doing this is because I have micro-colitis. Keeping inflammation at bay is key. I will drink homemade chicken bone broth/beef bone broth when necessary. But after having gone through 48-72 hours of broth, would you recommend eating anything in your cookbook or sticking with the “inflammation” friendly recipes?

Hi Kerstin, I am so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed this recipe. I personally recommend honey over monk fruit sweetener. If you choose to use monk fruit sweetener, be sure to use less. I hope this helps!

This is yummy! My son even likes it. And it’s not dry and crumbly like most GF items. Quick question: since I am trying to limit my sugar intake and this is about the only sweet thing I’ve had in the past week. What do you recommend using, honey or monk fruit sweetener? Honey has some good natural properties, but I’ve recently heard monk fruit sweetener is even better?
Thank you so much for the recipe!

I make a lot of gluten free things since a few people in my life eat GF and I wouldn’t want anyone to go without. I was skeptical using the almond flour since I don’t always love its texture in baked goods but these are so fluffy and most and somehow taste like butter! I doubled the batch, made 2 dozen muffins, baked about 20 minutes, and added pecans, more spices (cardamom, ginger, cloves, nutmeg) and swapped flax eggs and agave for honey to make them vegan. SO GOOD!
