Expert Tips

  • Use ripe bananas to achieve a more naturally sweet bread.
  • Shake canned coconut milk before using. If the coconut milk is hardened on top (with a watery substance below), stir with a spoon before measuring.
  • Use a piece of parchment paper that hands over the edge of the pan. This allows you to get the bread out of the pan easily. See photo above for reference.
  • Check banana bread after 40 minutes. Mine took about 48 minutes, but every oven is different.
  • Once a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean, remove from oven.
  • Resist the urge to cut into the banana bread right away. Once completely cooled, slice and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cassava flour Paleo?

Yes, cassava flour is Paleo. In addition, cassava flour is gluten free, grain free, and dairy free.

Can I use another flour?

I have not tested this specific recipe with another flour. Cassava flour is very different from other grain free and Paleo flours. Check out my Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread for a traditional banana bread.

Can I make this banana bread without eggs?

Unfortunately, flax eggs or gelatin eggs will not give this banana bread the same consistency. For that reason, I do not suggest making this without eggs.

Is cassava flour low FODMAP?

Cassava flour is low FODMAP in a serving size of 15 grams or less. This is a little less than 2 tablespoons. This bread has a total of 24 tablespoons of cassava flour. To stay low FODMAP, slice into about 12 pieces.

Is cassava flour Keto?

Cassava flour is a starchy flour, and therefore it is not Keto friendly.
