Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon

    Baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 large Mashed ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 2 large

    Eggs

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (for spiced version)
  • Pinch Nutmeg (for spiced version)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth.
  • Combine wet ingredients: In the same bowl, add honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil). Mix well until smooth and incorporated.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add optional ingredients: Stir in any optional add-ins like walnuts, chocolate chips, cinnamon, or nutmeg if desired.
  • Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and serve: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Make sure to use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. Overripe bananas work best for this recipe.
  • Storage: Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze individual slices for later enjoyment.
