Instructions
Prepare oven and dry ingredients
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease three 9x5-inch loaf pans, or if you’re using silicone ones, you can skip the greasing. In a large bowl, mix together the coconut flour, all-purpose flour, xylitol, coconut sugar, flaxseed meal, baking soda, and salt until everything is well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and then stir in the melted butter, coconut milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and whisk everything together until you don’t see any lumps. Gently fold in the macadamia nuts for a nice crunch.
Bake and Cool Loaves
Divide the batter evenly among the pans and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for a bit on a wire rack, then take them out and let them cool completely. They’re delicious served warm, so don’t wait too long to dig in!
