Hearty & Healthy (HH) Banana Bread

I beyond love banana bread - anyone with me?

I make a semi-traditional recipe adding chocolate chips fairly often as my hunny loves banana bread, too.

I’ve been wanting to make a recipe I could feel better about eating - and today’s healthier version is a homerun. It is HEARTY, SWEET, RICH, SATISFYING… so DELISH. Definitely GOOD for the SOUL!

HH Banana Bread

Wet ingredients:

1/4 cup organic coconut oil

1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce

1/2 cup stevia

2 T. dark brown sugar

1 T. vanilla

2 large organic cage-free eggs

3 extra ripe bananas*

Dry ingredients:

1/4 t. salt

1/4 t. cinnamon

1 t. baking soda

1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 cup Old Fashioned Oats

1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

2 T. cocoa nibs (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray and lightly flour bread loaf pan.

Mix melted, but cooled coconut oil, applesauce, stevia, brown sugar and vanilla in mixing bowl until well combined. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Add mushed bananas* - hint: mush the bananas while still in the peel and mush em out right into the mix, as pictured above! In separate bowl, whisk all dry ingredients. Add 1/2 of dry ingredients into wet; mix lightly. Add remaining; mix just until combined - you do not want to over mix! Pour batter into previously prepared bread loaf pan. Bake for 35 minutes. Let cool completely. 

Slice, serve and ENJOY — if you are anything like me, it will speak directly to your SOUL!

Next, I will try substituting berries - we’ll let you know how that goes!
