Description

Before you throw out those over-ripened bananas, use them for this great banana bread recipe. This recipe also uses coconut oil instead of butter, a great healthy swap.

Ingredients

  • 1-¼ cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ginger
  • 2 whole Ripe Bananas
  • ⅓ cups Coconut Oil
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Almond Milk (or Regular Milk)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease your loaf pan(s) with cooking spray. I used 2 small mini loaf pans. You can also use one 9×5 loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger; whisk. In a small bowl, mash your bananas and set aside.

In another small bowl, cream together coconut oil and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in mashed banana’s and mix until combined. Take the wet mixture and combine with the dry mixture. Stir until just moistened, adding in almond milk to help combine the wet and dry ingredients.

Pour batter into loaf pan(s). Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If using a 9×5 pan, bake for 55-65 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Just curious why coconut oil is a healthy alternative to butter? I believe it is solid at room temp and contains just as much saturated fat and just as many calories per serving as butter.
