  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (10 slices)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate these into the wet mixture, folding gently to keep the batter light.
  3. Grease a loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper if desired.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain the fluffiness.
  • Fold in nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze slices for later.
