Ingredients:
1/4 cup oil (I used avocado oil)
2-3 tbsp maple syrup, honey or agave syrup (I prefer my banana bread to be less sweet but you can change the amount of sweetener based on your own preference!)
2 large free-run eggs
2 ripe bananas (more ripe means sweeter!)
¼ cup dairy-free milk (or any milk you prefer, I used almond milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ tea spoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour (or flour of your choice)
Optional: 2 tbsp chia seeds (can also add ground flax or hemp seeds for extra protein)
Optional: ½ teaspoon nutmeg
Optional mix-in or garnish: dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, almonds slithers, dried fruit
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 340 degs F.
Grease pan with avocado oil or use parchment paper at bottom of baking pan
Mix oil and honey together in a large bowl. Then add eggs and mix well. Next add in mashed bananas and milk.
Add vanilla extract, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix well.
Slowly fold in flour until evenly combined.
Add in any additional mix-ins you prefer (hemp/chia seeds can be mixed in or added on top).
Pour batter into greased pan and add garnish on top.
Bake for one hour or until toothpick inserted and comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for around 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Enjoy!
