Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: cassava flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed—do not over mix. Fold in optional mix-ins if using.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil halfway through if it browns too quickly.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
