Ingredients

2 Ripe Bananas
2 Eggs
¼ cup Coconut Oil melted
⅓ cup Maple Syrup or Honey
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
¼ tsp Salt
½ tsp Cinnamon optional
½ cup Nuts or Seeds (i.e. walnuts, almonds or chia seeds) chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with oil or butter.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork.
Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts or seeds.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
