Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 large ripe bananas very ripe for maximum sweetness
  • 1/2 cup honey can substitute with maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract preferably pure
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat for more fiber
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda do not substitute
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance flavor
  • 2 large eggs or flax eggs for vegan
  • 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips for added sweetness
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Dust it with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until they're smooth and creamy.
  3. Whisk together the honey and eggs with the mashed bananas until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and melted butter (or coconut oil) to the banana mixture. Stir well.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients separately. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this blend to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the banana bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
