Banana Bread

I've adapted my recipe from one I've been using for awhile that I found on Simply Recipes

Ingredients:

• 4 bananas smashed (smash it real good!)
•  1/3 cup of coconut oil *I used Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• salt (sprinkle about a pinch or less)
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease/Flour pan (or whatever methods you use for baking) Mash up the bananas like there is no tomorrow! Add in coconut oil and mix. Add beaten egg, sugar, and vanilla extract and mix til well combined.

Yum-ness in the making!

Sprinkle a bit of salt and baking soda on top of mixture. Mix well to fully combine. Last but not least the flour! Can add both types at once and mix or mix whole wheat and then all purpose flour. Add mixture to bread pan and pop in the oven for 45-50 minutes.

Phone Camera did not fully capture the golden brownness on top :)

You may substitute coconut oil for whatever else you may have on hand. I've been trying to find natural alternatives to using butter in baking and coconut oil is pretty awesome so far. I enjoy mixing up whole wheat flour with all purpose flour as a way to make it stretch and last longer (especially since my bag is almost empty.)
