Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
  • ½ cup honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • 1 ¾ cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 ½ large or 5 medium bananas)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour (or regular whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by spraying with cooking spray and lining with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop.
  3. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, honey, and mashed bananas; whisk until smooth. Then add eggs and blend well.
  4. Add baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the flour using a rubber spatula until just incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes. Check for doneness at around 35 minutes; cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Cool in the pan for approximately 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
