So excited to be sharing my Papa’s banana bread recipe! I’ve tweaked it a bit to make it a little healthier, but the taste is just as delicious as when he would make it for us. I’ve substituted coconut sugar and coconut oil for the cane sugar and shortening. I’ll be making a post talking about the benefits of using coconut sugar and coconut oil in your recipes!
My Papa was by far one of my favorite people, so I’m excited to be able to share a piece of him with all of you. Food is such a great way to bring people together, and to remember those that we’ve lost. I hope your family enjoys this banana bread as much as my family does!

Notes
- – To make vegan: use flax eggs instead of regular eggs (1 flax egg = 1T flaxseed and 2.5T water)
– If you don’t have coconut sugar you can use regular cane sugar (1:1 sub), if you don’t have coconut oil you can use shortening or butter (1:1 sub).
– The bananas give a lot of flavor, but you can taste a little of the coconut. If you don’t want to have any coconut taste, use refined coconut oil (mostly flavorless). Most coconut oil you see at the store is unrefined.
– Feel free to add in nuts or chocolate chips!
