Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 very ripe medium sized bananas

Instructions

  • Spray an 8" or 9" loaf pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350º.
  • Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or a saucepan until just melted (skip if using vegetable oil). Set aside to cool slightly while you gather the rest of your ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, use your whisk to mix together the sugars and melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil) until combined.
  • Add the eggs and the vanilla to the sugar mixture and continue whisking until everything's incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, mash your bananas with a fork or a potato masher until they are completely mashed--looking like thick soup--with some small lumps remaining.
  • Add the bananas to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk again until fully blended.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently stir with a spoon or rubber spatula until the batter is just combined and there are no more pockets of flour showing. Do not over mix!
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake the banana bread at 350° for about 55-60 min. The bread is done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool and slice. Top with your favorite nut butter, Biscoff Spread, or salty plant based butter.

Notes

Use refined coconut oil if you want no taste of coconut in the bread.
