I just had to brag about this recipe I found - IT'S FANTASTIC. I didn't have any walnuts, or I would have thrown a few in there - the recipe seems very adaptable. I followed it pretty closely but added 1/4 cup of chia seeds AND 2 tbs rather than just the two tbs, and I cut the flour down by 1/4 a cup. I used whole wheat flour and it was fine - not too heavy. I also added a few chocolate chips - which made it divine.

Very healthy - greek yogurt, coconut oil, fresh bananas, strawberries (I had to use frozen this time of year), coconut, chia seeds, whole wheat flour, brown sugar. It's super easy to make.

Note - mine took a full 65 minutes to bake. The recipe says 50-65 minutes. It's fabulous!

Here's a picture of my finished product, right before I ate the best part - the crusty, crunchy and yet still moist heel of the loaf! (yes, with butter)

looks dense as hell, i need to start trying to bake with coconut. you can make your own coconut flour, just use dried coconut flakes and a coffee grinder, much cheaper.

Yes, you can use coconut flour with this recipe. Someone asked that in the comments on the link I sent.

It's a dense bread but it's DELICIOUS. Filling and healthy. I had one slice for breakfast and I'm very satisfied. It's a moist, heavy bread but that's not a bad thing in this case.

It looks quite tasty! I don't do much baking but if this was put in front of me, I would definitely try it - not that fond of coconut.

Coconut flour doesn't really taste coconutty, so give it a try. But when I use it, it sucks up liquid like crazy so you can't really use the same measurements equally as flour.
