Need something to do with those bananas that have pretty much gone bad? Well, look no further! This quick, easy and healthy recipe is your answer. I was skeptical at first because banana bread is hard to master, but I promise this one is worth it. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup honey or maple syrup

2 eggs

1 cup mashed bananas (about 2½ medium or 2 large bananas)

¼ cup milk of choice or water

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to swirl on top

1¾ cups whole wheat flour or coconut flour

Optional: ½ cup mix-ins like chopped walnuts or pecans, chocolate chips, raisins, chopped dried fruit, fresh banana slices, Nutella, etc. Go crazy!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch baking pan.
2. Melt your OIL (either coconut or EVOO)
3. MIX: In a large bowl, whisk together the oil and honey.
4. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk.
5. Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend.
6. Add the flour (it might be lumpy and that’s ok!)
7. Add any of your optional mix-ins.
8. Pour the batter into your greased pan.
9. BAKE: for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Due to differing oven temperatures, times will vary. Mine was done in 45 minutes.
10. Let the bread cool in the baking pan for 10 minutes. Then eat up!
