Coconut Flour Banana Bread

Yield: 1 loaf

4 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups)

3/4 cup coconut flour

5 eggs

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.

3. To the mashed banana, add in the coconut flour, eggs, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Stir the batter well, breaking up any lumps so a smooth batter is formed.

4. Pour batter into lined loaf pan and bake until the center of the loaf has risen and started to crack, feeling firm to the touch, about 45 to 55 minutes. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

5. Because this loaf is moist, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge for best shelf life. It should last at least a week when stored in the fridge.

Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: 12

1/3 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/3 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and eggs until a uniform batter is created. The batter will start off a bit runny, but will thicken as the coconut flour starts to absorb the moisture.

3. Add chocolate chips, and stir to combine.

4. Using your hands, shape the dough into cookies. These cookies will not spread on their own, so shape them how you'd like them to turn out.

5. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
