Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 overripe bananas (fresh or frozen, peeled)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 7.5 ounces by weight whole wheat flour (1.5 cups, if measuring)
  • solid coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.  Grease an 8x4.5-inch* loaf pan with solid coconut oil.
  • Place the bananas in a large bowl. If the bananas are frozen, microwave for about 60 seconds, until thawed.
  • Use a hand mixer to mix the banana, until relatively smooth. No large chunks of banana should remain.
  • Add the egg, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix until combined.
  • Add the cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves, and mix until combined.
  • Add the whole wheat flour, and mix until no flour streaks remain, but the batter is still lumpy.
  • Spread the banana mixture into the prepared loaf pan, and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden and there's no raw sheen in the cracks of the loaf. If you insert a toothpick into the loaf, it may be a little moist.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
