Honey Sweetened Banana Bread
I love using honey to sweeten my baked goods. It makes it feel less like cake and more like the perfect snack!
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup honey
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose or fresh ground wheat see notes
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup chocolate chips or nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper (or grease it well!) or prep one dozen muffins with liners or grease.
- Melt butter and honey together on medium/low until just melted. Let cool.
- Mash 3 bananas in a bowl. Add in your egg.
- Add butter mixture into your banana mix and mix well.
- On top of the wet mix measure out your flour and leave it there in a pile.
- Then on top of that, measure baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Gently mix those three into the flour, and then mix your batter together.
- You can mix in your chocolate or nuts at this point if you want them throughout the bread.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes for bread (i turn around half way and test with a butter knife to see that it comes out clean) or 18-23 minutes for muffins.
- Let rest in the pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For your flour, you can use a soft white wheat, or this is nice and nutty with a hard red or red fife too!. You can also use all-purpose pre-ground flour. If you are using fresh ground, make sure to hydrate about 20 minutes before baking.
