This recipe comes from a book that I bought called "Cooking With Coconut Flour" by Bruce Fife. There are quite a few recipes in the last part of the book. Everything is made using coconut flour and they're gluten free.
1 ripe banana, mashed
8 eggs
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup brown sugar sweetener
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sifted coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
Blend together the mashed banana, eggs, coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and whisk thoroughly into batter until there are no lumps. Fold in the nuts. Pour into greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack.
This stuff was very good. I took it to work and everyone who tried it really liked it. I don't know what the carb count is but a medium banana is around 27 grams and if you get 10 slices out of the loaf that would be only 2.7 grams from the banana. The other ingredients have very little net carbs.
I didn't use the almond extract in mine, just doubled the vanilla. I also used half regular eggs and half Eggbeaters. I had some brown sugar sweetener called Nature Sweet that I ordered from netrition.com but if you don't have any I think you could substitute another sweetener.
I would definitely make this again!
