This loaf makes a yummy addition to your daily eats with its wholesome and nutrient-dense ingredients. Simple to make, there’s no need to add any yeast or to wait for the dough to rise. Simply blend everything together, pour into a loaf pan, and wait for it to bake – that’s it!

For this recipe, we combine fiber-rich plantains with eggs, salt, and coconut oil to create the base of the dough. As a grain-free alternative, we also sub in coconut flour to give the bread a nice fluffy texture and subtle sweet flavor.

Similar to a banana, the plantain is about three times the size and has its own unique taste. When the plantains are entirely green, the flesh actually tastes like a potato and adds definition only to the texture (not the taste). You can find plantains at most supermarkets or health food stores, but make sure to skip the ones that are yellow or black since these will be slightly sweeter and affect the final result.

Tip: To ensure that your bread doesn’t stale up quickly, I recommend letting it cool and then storing in an airtight container inside the fridge. This will help keep your bread moist and is a great way to preserve it when you only want a slice or two.

Make it ahead of time and keep it handy throughout the week! You can use it to make Paleo sandwiches or toast with ghee for a morning treat.
