Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- If using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added texture, sprinkle the top with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
