It should be like a batter, but not think like pancake batter. More like a brownie batter.

All the moisture in this comes from the eggs, bananas and coconut oil. So, if your eggs were smaller than mine, your bananas less overripe, or your coconut oil solid instead of melted, you’ll get a dough instead of a batter. If I were you, I’d add a little bit more of any of these wet ingredients to get the preferred consistency.

Waaaaah!! What did i do wrong!? The batter looks like cookie batter. So many eggs…how did this happen? I’m going to pop a couple muffins in and see how they do… wish me luck!

Hi there,
I just put this in the oven and it smells amazing.. I’m hoping it turns out as I’ve not had great luck with Paleo baking!!
Question should it be a liquidy texture or more solid? and will it rise at all or stay down ?? Hoping mine turns out!!

I have Celiac and follow a Paleo diet. I found your website and love this recipe! It fits my dietary needs perfectly and the taste is amazing! The batter was the consistency of dough and I worried that the amount of coconut flour was much more than I had ever used in a recipe so I added a little more coconut oil. I also used a smidge more raw honey since my hubby likes his banana bread a bit sweeter. I made them into muffins and they turned out great! My picky non-Paleo hubby ate 3 of them right away. This one is definitely a keeper.

I love making Almond flour banana muffins! I use 2 c. almond flour and 1 c. coconut flour. I also use sweetleaf stevia for my sweetener…sooo good! Even my hubby who is a hard core junk food eater loves these muffins! I haven’t tried the choclate chips yet…might throw them in a few of the muffins for my hubby;) Also, I grind up my own almonds for my flour….it doesn’t get as fine as the store bought…but everyone who has tried these muffins likes that there is little pieces of the nuts!

i was so excited to try this recipe, got all the ingredients, welllll….i wish i would have tried only half. it’s currently in the over but the dough was very dry, added another egg and some milk… I’ll see what it tastes like and looks when it get out of the oven.

I followed the recipe, the dough was way too dry. I’m sure the coconut flour soaked up the liquid so I added one more banana, one more egg and 1/4 cup more honey. It still seemed dry but I baked it anyway. Mistake. I’m sure you have an eye for the dough as you stated, I’m new to working with coconut/almond flours so I wasn’t sure if this was normal. I’m wondering if you could make some type of comment after the recipe about this so people like me who don’t read the comments until afterwards can be forewarned.
Thank you so much!

I made this tonight in a bunt pan. I substituted grass fed butter for coconut oil (same amount) and used a little less coconut flour. It’s still came out drier than cookie dough. I added about one fourth cup (maybe more) almond milk. I also added one fourth cup Muscavado (brown) sugar. it tastes really great, definitely “healthy” tasting so I’ll be anxious to try it on the kids. It’s very filling and you don’t need more than a tiny slice. I was happy with the results and will make it again!

I made this last night, I was out of coconut oil so had to sub in grapeseed oil in its place. I cut the recipe in half, measured the mashed banana to get exactly what the recipe called for, and baked one loaf. I had a very dense, moist loaf that baked beautifully (I had to bake it an hour in my oven) and it tastes really good. My GF youngest said “Mmmmm” and finished her piece quickly. Thanks for the recipe!
