Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts hello, omega-3s!
  • 1/3 cup virgin coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (a slightly lower temp due to the honey in the recipe). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Toss in the chopped walnuts.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the oil and eggs until well combined. Stir in the mashed bananas, almond milk, and vanilla extract. If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, you can warm the mixture.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients gently for a tender crumb. Transfer the mixture to a prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes. Check for bread's doneness with a toothpick. If it browns too fast, cover with foil.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice up your banana bread and DEVOUR!
