Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled) Adds depth and richness to the loaf.
  • ½ cup Local Hive™ Clover Raw and Unfiltered Honey Provides natural sweetness and floral notes.
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature) Helps bind the ingredients together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the sweetness of the bread.
  • 1½ cups overripe bananas (mashed) Key for moist and flavorful bread.
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure for the loaf.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the bread rise.
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warmth and enhances sweetness.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Balances and enhances overall flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-9 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and honey until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract, eggs, and mashed bananas.
  3. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until the dry streaks disappear.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan until warm, then lift it out using the parchment paper.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for the best flavor. Consider adding chocolate chips or nuts. For a vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce.
