Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup (75 grams) melted coconut oil, extra-virgin olive oil, or high-quality vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (168 grams) honey or ½ cup (155 grams) maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (225 grams) mashed ripe bananas (about 2 ½ medium or 2 large bananas)
  • ¼ cup (56 grams) milk of choice or water
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon Fertile You Female Elixir or Hormone Elixir
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra to swirl on top
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
  • Optional: ½ cup mix-ins like chopped walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips, raisins, dried fruit, or fresh banana slices

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 165°C and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil and honey until well combined. Add the eggs and beat well. Stir in the mashed bananas and milk until smooth.
    Tip: If using coconut oil and it solidifies when mixed with cold ingredients, let the bowl rest in a warm place or microwave for 10 seconds to liquefy.
  3. Whisk in the baking soda, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Switch to a spoon and gently stir in the flour until just combined (a few lumps are fine). If adding mix-ins, fold them in now.
  4. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the top lightly with cinnamon and, for a swirled effect, use a knife tip to create a zig-zag pattern.
  5. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice once fully cooled.
