Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 overripe bananas (mashed, about 1½ cups)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil (or avocado oil)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour (or a mix of oat and almond flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips (no sugar added)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth.
- Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, fold in your mix-ins like walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness. Let the bread cool completely before slicing for the best texture and moisture retention.
