  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale

5 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
 ½ cup honey (or pure maple syrup)
 1¾ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3½ large or 5 medium bananas)
 2 large eggs
 1 teaspoon baking soda
 ½ teaspoon salt
 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 2 cups (250 g) white whole wheat flour (or regular whole wheat or all-purpose flour)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter (or coconut oil) and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.
  • Stir in the mashed bananas and eggs until well combined. Add the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
