Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2.33 cups Ripe Bananas (well-mashed)
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil (melted)
  • 1 large Egg (acts as a binding agent)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (enhances aroma)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (can use gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (leavening agent)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (enhances flavor)

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup Pecans (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, toast the pecans for 10-15 minutes until they turn golden and fragrant to enhance their flavor.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening and spices throughout the batter.
  4. Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the overripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract, then whisk together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread moist and tender.
  6. Add Nuts: Gently fold in the toasted chopped pecans, distributing them evenly without breaking them down too much.
  7. Bake the Loaf: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan. This helps it set properly. Once cooled, remove the bread from the pan, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread.
  • Store banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Adding chopped walnuts or chocolate chips are excellent variations.
