Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
  • ½ cup honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • 1 ¾ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 ½ large or 5 medium)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour (or regular whole wheat flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large bowl and mix in the honey and mashed bananas until well combined. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  3. Stir in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour using a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined—small lumps are fine.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 55-65 minutes, checking for doneness after 35 minutes.
  6. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
