Easy Breezy Cleaner Banana Bread

One of my absolute favorite things to bake is banana bread. Banana bread can almost be treated like that big pot of soup you make at the end of the week. You can throw just about any left over fruit in with it and it'll come out tasting amazing.  This one I will post today is just a basic recipe for a banana bread but with only clean ingredients.  Like a couple of recipes I have posted previously, this one can classify as more of a clean recipe than cleaner. So, BONUS!

This recipe is very very simple. Of course that is the purpose of my blog. To provide you all with easy enough recipes to make on a daily basis, even if you are a working mom.  This banana bread could serve as breakfast for a couple of days. However it is so delicious it gets eaten pretty quickly in our house of 2 and a toddler.  My 17 month old loves this tasty food!

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas mashed
• 2 cups of oat flour (ground oats)
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup coconut oil or sunflower oil
• 2 tbsp. of honey or agave
• 1 1/2 tbsp. of vanilla

Throw all ingredients in a bowl and mix together.  Simple as that. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes in a loaf pan(oiled mine with coconut oil). Keep an eye on it (toothpick test). Some ovens take longer.  Your standard banana bread recipes take upwards to an hour.

The difference between your normal banana bread recipes are my recipe is oat flour and a tiny bit of honey.  Other normal banana breads have at least 1/2 cup to a cup of sugar plus all the flour that is so genetically modified and processed. Yuck!  So, do yourself and your family a favor and make this version and see how it fits into your lifestyle. It's all about the little changes you make in your eating habits that make the biggest impact. Because we all know how hard it is to stick to any "diet". Well, if you start with the little changes, it will lead to a big difference!

 

There you have it folks. It's just that simple. Easy Breezy Cleaner Banana Bread that will certainly please that belly of yours and your waistline! :)

You can easily throw some blueberries, strawberries, apples, cranberries or any nut of choice in this bread and it would be delightful!

You can also take a little extra honey or agave and mix in a little cinnamon, maybe toast some almonds or pecans and throw in the honey and cinnamon and pour over your slice of banana bread for a little extra sweetness. I highly recommend this for a dessert type of treat!
