INGREDIENTS

For this healthier classic banana bread you will need just a handful of basic ingredients!

Organic Flour: We used all-purpose flour, but you could easily use a gluten-free baking flour with xanthan gum added. You could also use whole wheat flour or bread flour for added protein.
Organic Baking Soda: An essential leavening agent for the flour, we always have some on hand.
Sea Salt: Your choice of organic Himalayan sea salt or basic Kosher sea salt.
Tejari Organic Golden Banana Blend: You get the added benefit of natural anti-inflammatory properties, potassium, and organic pea protein that is super good for you.
Organic Bananas: Make sure your bananas are ripe enough for this bread. They need to be past the all-yellow stage with brown spots, and for best results - mostly black and overripe, for that intense banana flavor and a moist banana bread.
Olive Oil: As this is a banana bread recipe without butter, we have used olive oil as a substitute. Rather than melted butter you could use any neutral flavored oil for baking, or even unsweetened applesauce.
Maple Syrup: A natural refined sugar-free alternative to white sugar or brown sugar, we used maple syrup in this recipe for its subtle sweetness.
Organic Yogurt: Greek yogurt, unsweetened.
Organic Eggs: Large, we like to get our eggs from the farmers' markets or from farms.
Vanilla Extract: What is a baking recipe without pure vanilla extract?!

VARIATIONS

Add whole nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans into the mixture to alter the texture of the bread and make a banana nut bread, or add on top for decoration.
Add dark chocolate chips to the bread.
Coconut oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil would work well in the recipe as a substitute in this banana bread recipe without butter.
Add a cream cheese frosting for more decadence!

EXPERT TIPS

Your bananas need to be ripe enough. They need to be past the all-yellow stage, and for best results - mostly black and overripe, for that intense banana flavor.
Don't over bake the bread or it will be dry. Check on your bread 5-10 minutes before the baking time ends and check the middle with a toothpick. If it comes out clean then your bread is ready, if not, continue to bake.
When storing banana bread keep some paper towels at the bottom of the container to keep it from getting soggy.

FAQs

WHY IS MY BANANA LOAF STILL GOOEY IN THE MIDDLE?

If your bread is still soggy in the middle, then most likely the bread is undercooked! To check, simply insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the baked bread. When the toothpick or knife comes out clean it is finished baking.

IS BANANA BREAD REALLY BAD FOR YOU?

Traditionally, a lot of banana bread recipes contain lots of butter, refined sugar, and saturated fat which make the healthy-sounding banana bread dessert actually quite unhealthy! However, since our recipe contains superfoods from Tejari Organic Blends, potassium from fresh bananas, no refined sugar, and olive oil instead of butter, we consider this to be the best banana bread recipe as it’s pretty healthy!

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU LET BANANA BREAD COOL BEFORE CUTTING?

Just let the loaf cool for 10-12 minutes on a wire rack before cutting into slices to avoid excessive crumbling.

HOW SHOULD I STORE BANANA BREAD?

Since refrigerators are known to pull the moisture out of baked goods, we do not recommend placing breads or cakes in the refrigerator. Just keep it in an airtight container at room temperature and it’ll last for 2-3 days! You can freeze this bread in individual slices and only have a little bit at a time. Then, when you want some delicious banana bread, just let a slice defrost at room temperature or lightly toast it!
