Banana Bread

Recipe yields 1 loaf

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 1/2 medium or 2 large bananas)
• 1/4 cup milk of choice or water
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to swirl on top
• 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour

PREPARATION:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk.
• Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined.
• Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
