FAQs
Q1: Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes! Use coconut oil instead of butter to keep it completely dairy-free.
Q2: Why is my batter so thick?
Coconut flour absorbs more liquid than regular flour. That’s normal—just spread it evenly in the pan.
Q3: Can I add mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Chopped walnuts, pecans, or dark chocolate chips work wonderfully in this banana bread.
