Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Bread With Coconut Oil

Submitted by woltra

"I altered the Starbucks banana bread recipe to include my favorite substitutions and made it extra "banana-y". The whole wheat flour makes it healthier, the agave lowers the glycemic index, and the coconut oil and extra banana helps this "healthy" version taste better."

Excellent substitutions. I just started to sub butter for coconut oil in all of my banana bread recipes, then moved onto the agave syrup. Haven't done so with the whole wheat flour, just partially. Any escaped droplets of the coconut oil feel so good on your hands! Good job

This was so delicious fresh out of the oven with a little high-quality butter. I used 1-1/2 cups WW flour and 1/2 cup coconut flour. I also omitted the sour cream and walnuts because I didn't have any and my kids don't like nuts. We loved the bread though. Awesome to find baked goods with no vegetable or canola oil!
