Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Ripe bananas (mashed) 3
Honey ¾ cup (255 g)
Egg 1
Almond milk 2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Whole wheat flour 2 cups (260 g)
Baking soda 1 teaspoon
Salt A pinch
Applesauce or Greek yogurt ¼ cup (65 mL or 70 g)

Ingredients Description

Ripe bananas make this bread naturally sweet and moist. Honey is used instead of sugar for a healthier option. Almond milk keeps the bread light, while Greek yogurt or applesauce adds richness and helps replace oil. Whole wheat flour adds fiber and makes it more filling. Baking soda helps the bread rise, and a pinch of salt balances the flavors.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (170°C).
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
  3. Add the applesauce or Greek yogurt, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix everything until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
  6. Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  7. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let it cool before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
