The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup organic extra virgin olive oil ((or substitute with melted butter or coconut oil))
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large organic eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract or the seeds from 1 vanilla bean

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350"F
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil or melted butter and sugars together until creamy.
  • Add the vanilla extract, ricotta cheese and heavy cream and whisk until everything is incorporated. Whisk in the eggs until you have a smooth mixture. Add the bananas and walnuts and gently toss to coat.
  • In another large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Make a well in the middle and pour the wet mixture inside.
  • Using a spatula gently fold all the ingredients together.
  • Grease a loaf pan with a dab of butter or oil and pour in the mixture.
  • Sprinkle a few walnuts on top for garnish.
