- Ripe Bananas
- Coconut Flour: I really like this coconut flour which has a nice consistency and texture. A little goes a long way with coconut flour, and I find that this bag lasts a while in my pantry (a great value!)
- Eggs – for a vegetarian version I used eggs. For a vegan version, I’d recommend a baking egg replacer. A few of you commented that flax eggs and chia eggs leave the bread runny in the middle, so avoid using flax or chia.
- Brown Sugar: I like to use a dark brown sugar for baking because I find it has a really nice flavor.
- Cinnamon: which gives this dish a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- Baking Soda: I love keep baking soda in the pantry for baking, and also for cleaning. This baking soda works great for both.
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this recipe an #extra boost.
- Walnuts: because I love adding heart-healthy and brain-healthy ingredients to my foods when I can. I stocked up a few bags of these walnuts which are super cheap and a great value for the quality.
