Can I use any other types of flour?
I would recommend sticking to the flours & measurements as listed. Grain-free baking can be a bit of a science, so different ratios or flours may not work well.
When making this recipe, I recommend using Bob’s Red Mill coconut flour and Bob’s Red Mill finely ground almond flour.
Can I use a different sweetener?
I like using coconut sugar because it has a delicious warming flavor with a lower glycemic index. Brown sugar would be the next best option, or maple syrup would work just fine in this recipe.
Do I have to use coconut oil?
Instead of coconut oil you could use melted butter or a melted dairy-free butter. Use the same measurements.
Can this recipe be made egg-free?
I have not tried this recipe without eggs, however you could try using 2 “flax eggs,” which is a combination of ground flax meal and water. Here is a tutorial how to make flax eggs.
Do I have to use peanut butter?
I love using Skippy Natural Peanut Butter, but any other nut butter would work! Almond butter would be delicious, and sunflower seed butter is a good nut-free option.
To make as muffins:
To make this Banana Bread in muffin form, simply bake them in lined and/or greased muffin pan for 22-25 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).

This chicken looks so beautifully succulent and flavourful, and coriander and lime is such a great flavour combination. Love your suggestion for turning this into a salad to. Yum.
