Hi Friends,<\/p>\n

I find cooking and filling my home with happy aromas is very therapeutic, especially now when I’m in quarantine. I was asked for my yummy banana bread recipe. I have several tried and tested banana bread recipes, depending on who I am baking for. I’ve done the gluten free\u00a0bread, sugar free bread, regular bread with a full cup of white sugar, but since sugar is a dirty word these days, I am sharing a very delicious recipe today that does not use any white sugar,\u00a0and as Martha would say \u2014 it’s a good thing!<\/span><\/p>\n

YUMMY AND HEALTHY BANANA BREAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

3 ripe medium bananas mashed (the riper the better)<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup honey or maple syrup<\/p>\n

2 eggs<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup milk<\/p>\n

1 tsp. baking soda (not baking powder!)<\/p>\n

1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp. salt<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp. ground cinnamon<\/p>\n

1 3\/4 cup whole wheat flour<\/p>\n

Optional add-ins:\u00a0<\/strong>1\/2 cup chopped walnuts or 1\/2 cup chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

Method:<\/b><\/p>\n

In a large bowl beat the oil and honey together with a whisk, add eggs and beat well. Add in\u00a0milk and mashed bananas. Add the baking soda, salt, vanilla, cinnamon and whisk to blend. With a larger spoon, stir in the flour, just until it is all combined. At this point, I add in the chopped walnuts. I personally prefer them to chocolate chips, which I find too sweet. I also like the crunch of the nuts!<\/p>\n

Sometimes I like to use an extra banana and slice it on the top of the banana bread mix. When the banana bread is baked it looks very professional! Another time I might just add a few chopped walnuts and place them on top of the mix before putting it into the oven. Again, it looks delicious and delivers extra crunch!<\/p>\n

Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees celsius). Bake for 55 – 60 minutes until tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire tray. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
