Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (225 degrees C).
-
In a stand mixer, add the cream cheese and butter, and cream ingredients together. Add Splenda, vanilla extract, and banana extract to the mixing bowl, and slowly add eggs individually while the mixer is on low speed. Scrape the sides to ensure everything is mixed. Mix for 30 seconds on a medium speed.
-
Reduce speed to low, and add almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder to the mix. Mix for 1 minute.
-
Add to two well-greased mini loaf pans and baked for 25-35 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Benefits of Baking with Coconut Flour
This banana bread recipe is a delicious low-carb version of the very popular quick bread. It gets its traditional fluffiness from almond and coconut flour instead of all-purpose or wheat flours. There are actually a lot of health benefits to baking with coconut flour (besides being a low-carb substitute).
-
Coconut is actually very high in dietary fiber and can also help low cholesterol levels. A 100 gram serving of coconut flour actually has 39 grams of dietary fiber, while the recommended daily amount for adults is between 20-35 grams.
-
It is also filled with healthy fats. Coconut flour is made from pure, dried coconut that is blended into a fine powder, so you keep all of those healthy fats that are found in coconut flesh.
-
Coconut flour packs a protein punch! Each 100 gram serving of coconut flour contains 19.3 grams of protein, which is far more than other flours.

Your recipe ingredients are different than your actual instructions. Baking soda and baking powder are in the recipe but not in the ingredients. I put in both. I will let you know how it turns out.

Hi Anitahanson! I have updated the recipe - it should just be baking powder. Hope this helps!
