Banana Bread – The Recipe You’ll Always Want Around

Miss Ageless

I make this whenever I have overripe bananas, and when I want to fill the house with the scent of something freshly baked, comforting, and simple to grab for the next few days.

Equipment

1 Blender Not a must
1 Bowl Large, for mixing
1 Whisker Or Mixer
1 Loaf pan
1 Parchment paper
1 Oven

Ingredients

2 Bananas very ripe - mashed
2 eggs room temperature
⅓ cup coconut oil melted
¼ cup honey or natural maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
½ cup quick oats gluten-free if needed, or substitute with oat flour
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking Powder
¼ tsp natural salt like Celtic salt
¼ cup dark chocolate 85% chopped or quality dark chocolate chips (optional)
2 tablespoons Chia Seeds Optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a blender, combine the bananas, eggs, coconut oil, cashews (if using), maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. (You can also mix by hand in a bowl.)
Add the oat flour, baking powder, and chia seeds. Stir briefly until just combined.
If using chocolate, fold it in gently with a spoon.
Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Want to Upgrade the Texture and Flavor Depth?

Add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the wet mixture before adding the flour.
It will react with the baking soda, creating a fluffier texture—without changing the flavor.
It’s a secret trick from healthy bakeries that helps gluten-free loaves stay soft for days.

Storage Tip

To keep your banana bread moist and flavorful:
Wrap it in a cloth towel once completely cooled, then place in an airtight glass container.
If keeping for more than 3 days, slice the loaf, place parchment between slices, and freeze.
To enjoy a warm slice, reheat in the oven or toaster for 5–7 minutes—it brings back the softness and aroma as if freshly baked.
