Calories: 230kcal
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch salt
- 1 ½ cup white whole wheat flour
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, applesauce, and vanilla until well blended.
- Add in the baking soda, salt, flour and walnuts, and mix until everything is just moistened—do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
This is a lightly sweet banana bread. If you like a sweeter bread, add in ¼ or more of cane sugar or granulated sugar.
If you like a more moist and dense banana bread, undercook your bread by 4-5 minutes (until a toothpick inserted into the middle doesn't come out completely clean, but isn't super goopy). And then let it cool completely before slicing.
