Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or rub with coconut oil.
In stand mixer bowl combine mashed banana, applesauce, honey, egg, coconut milk, and vanilla until well combined.
In separate medium bowl mix together whole wheat flour, coconut flour, oats, shredded coconut, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and chia seeds, flax seeds, chocolate chips, if you are adding them.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in the stand mixer and and mix until just combined.
Pour into prepared loaf pan, sprinkle oats and shredded coconut over top, and bake for 60-75 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from oven and let stand in pan for about 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a wire rack. Cut into slices and enjoy! Keep bread tightly wrapped to maintain moisture, and freeze in a couple of days if you don’t plan to eat the whole thing!
