HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BANANA BREAD EVER!
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9Ă5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the melted coconut oil and maple syrup together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and skim milk.
- Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Using a large spoon, stir in the flour until just combined. Gently fold in the nuts.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
- Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
