The Best Healthy Banana Bread Recipe Youll Ever Bake

THE BEST HEALTHY BANANA BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Lay a sheet of parchment paper across the bottom and up the sides of the pan (see photo in post above).
• Melt the butter in a large glass bowl in the microwave (or melt butter in a pot on the stove and transfer to a large mixing bowl).
• Add the honey and mashed banana to the bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs.
• Add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla to the bowl. Whisk until very well combined.
• Add the flour and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined. You want all of the flour to be incorporated into the batter, but try not to over-mix.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Check on the banana bread after 35 minutes and loosely cover with foil as needed to prevent the top from over-browning.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Steps:

• Place the rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
• Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl until mostly smooth.
• Whisk in the egg, then the yogurt and oil.
• Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt over the top, then stir until combined.
• Gently stir in the flour until barely combined, then fold in any mix-ins.
• Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check at the 35-minute mark and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly at the corners. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and place on rack to finish cooling completely (for neat slicing), or enjoy warm and don't worry if the slices are messy.
