This super easy gluten free and refined sugar free banana loaf is perfect to feed the hungry kids over the holidays and great for school lunches. I added some choc chips to mine as they seem to guarantee it all gets eaten quickly... though you could also add some walnuts or sultanas, or it's yummy plain as well.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (NOT baking powder
- they're not the same)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups gluten free plain flour
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips or sultanas
Directions
- Preheat oven to 165 degrees Celsius and line a 23 x 13 cm loaf pan with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk. (If the coconut oil solidifies, let the bowl rest in a warm place or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.)
- Add the baking soda, vanilla and salt and whisk to blend. Switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok. Fold in any mix-ins now.
- Pour the batter into your lined loaf pan.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean (55 minutes without mix-ins, closer to 60 with). Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
