Easy And Healthy 5-Step Banana Bread Recipe

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas with a fork. Add melted coconut oil (or olive oil), vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix well.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well mixed. If the batter is too thick, add hot water gradually until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Add Optional Ingredients and Bake

If desired, fold in chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
