Ingredients:

  • 3 large overripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.75 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and prep your loaf pan with oil and parchment.
  2. Peel the 3 bananas into your large bowl and mash until they are a smooth, liquid consistency.
  3. Whisk in the 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  4. Add the 2 eggs and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, whisking until the mixture looks pale and emulsified.
  5. In your medium bowl, stir together the 1.75 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 0.5 tsp sea salt.
  6. Gently pour the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture.
  7. Use your spatula to fold the ingredients together until just a few streaks of flour remain. Note: Stop immediately once it's combined to keep it light.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55 minutes until the top is deep golden and a tester comes out clean.
  10. Let it rest in the pan for 15 minutes until the structure is firm enough to lift. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
