Ingredients
- 3 Ripe bananas
- 2 Eggs
- 1/3 Cup Coconut oil (vegetable oil will work as well)
- 1/3 – 1/2 Cup honey or light agave (depending on how sweet you like it)
- 1/4 Cup water
- 1 3/4 Cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 Cup dried cranberries (I like using the juice sweetened ones)
- Butter to put on top of your warm delicious banana bread!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. I usually use baking spray that has flour in it, which can be found in most grocery stores (especially during the holidays).
- In a bowl, mash all 3 bananas with a fork and set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together the oil and honey.
- Add the eggs to the oil and honey mixture and whisk well.
- Add the mashed bananas and water. Use the whisk to mix thoroughly.
- Whisk in the baking soda, vanilla, and salt.
- Stir in the flour with a large mixing spoon or baking spatula until it is just combined (you will have lumps).
- Fold in your dried cranberries using the spoon or spatula.
- Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan.
- Bake for roughly 55 to 60 minutes. It may take longer so be sure to insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf to see if it comes out clean. If not, bake for another couple of minutes and check again until the toothpick does come out clean.
- Once the loaf is ready, take it out of the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before taking it out (you don’t want it to fall apart).
- Let the bread cool on a cutting board or wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and enjoy with or without butter! Yum!!!
Make time to do something special each week. Baking is fun for little ones because they can dump and stir ingredients while you give them simple instructions. If you don’t have time to bake from scratch, consider a great boxed mix. Scroll down to see my fave boxed mix and some fun holiday baking accessories! Have fun, eat up and Happy Holidays!
