Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil or melted unrefined coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup raw (unfiltered honey)
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 3 medium-sized very ripe bananas (mashed (about 1.5 cups mashed))
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 TB ground flaxseed meal
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
  • Optional: dark mini chocolate chips (nuts or dried blueberries work well, too)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Lightly grease 9x5 inch loaf pan with EVOO or coconut oil. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the first 6 (wet)ingredients. Stir with a hand-whisk until fully incorporated. Add remaining ingredients except for flour. Gently whisk to combine well. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the flour; fold repeatedly until flour is just combined, with some small lumps remaining (do not over mix the flour.) Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  • Use rubber spatula to completely transfer batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake about 50 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few tender crumbs attached. Let bread cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Run a thin, sharp knife along edges carefully and remove bread from pan to slice.
