Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

Oil and Sweetener

  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil or high quality vegetable oil
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 ½ medium or 2 large bananas)
  • ¼ cup milk of choice or water

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (NOT baking powder; they aren’t the same!)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon plus more to swirl on top
  • 1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk.
  • Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.

Notes

If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.
