Ingredients

235g flour (I use unbleached white)
200g sugar (I use unrefined coconut sugar)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt (I use Himalayan)
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/2 teaspoon cardamon powder
600g ripe bananas (approx. 5 large)
2 large eggs (I use from grass-fed poultry)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
175g chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet, or replace for frozen/fresh blueberries)

SIMPLE BANANA BREAD

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 °F
Grease standard-size loaf pans (I use raw coconut oil) or line the pans with parchment paper for 100% oil-free result
In a large bowl: mush bananas with a fork/potato masher
Add wet ingredients to the bowl of mashed bananas (eggs, vanilla) and mix well
In another bowl: mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon. cardamon) whisk until lump-free
Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of mixed dry ingredients and lightly combine with a spatula/wooden spoon
If using chocolate chips/blueberries, gently fold them into the whole mix
Pour the batter into greased pans
Bake for 55-60 min or until a toothpick/sushi stick comes out clean when inserted in the centre
When loaves of banana bread baked: let the pans sit on top of the oven for about 5 minutes before flipping onto a wire cooling rack

VARIATION TIPS

Swap chocolate chips for fresh or frozen wild blueberries.
Swap unbleached white flour for gluten-free oat flour (oats are naturally gluten free but could be cross-contaminated during manufacturing so make sure to look for “Certified Gluten-Free” options).
Swap unbleached white flour for stone ground whole-wheat flour if you like your banana bread more dense and less fluffy.
Feel free to add some chopped walnuts.
