The best banana bread recipe. Google will suggest that there are hundreds of the best banana bread recipes and that's because there probably are! This is a healthier version of the best banana bread recipes out there. I love trying new banana bread recipes - it’s super delicious and a winner with the kids. This loaf uses coconut oil and almond meal and the combination makes this so moist, the texture is SO good. Add the ingredients to your shopping list this weekend, set aside a few bananas now to ripen up and do some baking, it’s very simple and you will not regret it.
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
3 overripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup raw sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup greek yoghurt
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup wholemeal (or plain) flour
1/2 cup almond meal
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Method:
Preheat your oven to 180°C.
Line a loaf tin with baking paper to avoid sticking.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Combine the bananas with the sugar, coconut oil, eggs, yoghurt and vanilla.
Add flour, almond meal, baking powder and salt. Mix until just combined. Pour into lined baking tin.
Optional: add sliced banana and/or a sprinkle of seeds on top.
Bake for ~45 minutes. Check the loaf is cooked through by inserting a knife, it will come out clean when ready.
Let the loaf cool before slicing.
Enjoy with a cuppa 🧡 x
