Ingredients
- 4 medium overripe bananas, mashed
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4-5 tablespoon coconut sugar Depending on how sweet you want it.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Grease a standard sized loaf pan (9x5 inch) with pan spray or butter and line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180 C, 350 F.
- Mash bananas in a mixing bowl (I use a potato masher). Add egg, vanilla, coconut sugar, and whisk well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to the banana mixture and stir gently with a spatula to combine. Gently stir in the melted coconut oil.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. If topping with a halved banana, slice a banana in half lengthwise and lay gently on top of the batter. Sprinkle with some extra coconut sugar.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. I like eating banana bread warm out the oven, sometimes with a little butter, sometimes with some nut butter. Always with coffee.
Notes
I used 4 tablespoons of coconut sugar and it was perfectly sweet to me!
