Healthy Banana Bread
Notes: This recipe is awesome with the addition of chopped walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, or chocolate chips, depending on who you’re feeding. A thick slice of this banana bread is also excellent toasted with nut butter, or butter and cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cup gluten free flour or regular unbleached flour
- 4 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 eggs or 2 teaspoons chia seeds mixed with 5 teaspoons water
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 cup sugar or ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or butter. If you are using chia seeds instead of eggs, add them to a small bowl with water and let them soak while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Mix all other ingredients together in a large bowl and pour into the greased pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the center is cooked through. You can easily check this with a toothpick of knife inserted in the middle of the loaf.
