    Why We Love this Coconut Oil Banana Bread

    Over the years, I've experimented with different recipes for banana bread, and I think that this banana loaf bread recipe is one of the healthier banana bread versions that I've made thus far. Maybe next time I will try a sugar free banana loaf or sugar free banana nut bread!

    Directions for how to make our Coconut Oil Banana Bread

    Preheat and Prepare

    Firstly, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour a loaf pan, or use a non-stick cooking spray with flour. This step ensures that your coconut oil banana bread doesn’t stick to the pan and it comes out perfectly every time!

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sugars, vanilla, eggs, bananas, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until the mixture it is creamy and smooth. This is where the magic begins! The ripe bananas and coconut oil blend to create a deliciously fragrant mixture.

    Add the Dry Ingredients

    Next, add in your all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk for about a minute until you have a creamy batter.

    Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are totally fine! In fact, lumps of banana in this bread make it even better!

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Do not fill all the way to the top because the bread will rise slightly.

    Pop it into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. Your kitchen will start to fill with the heavenly aroma of baking banana bread...YUM!

    Check for Doneness

    To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, your banana bread is ready! If not, give it a few more minutes. I recommend giving it a check at the 45 minute mark, as all of our ovens are a little different, aren't they?

    Cool and Enjoy

    Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your homemade Coconut Oil Banana Bread!

    Tips for the Best Banana Bread

    • Use very ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. If they're brown, that's the BEST time to make this coconut oil banana bread!
    • Don’t over-mix the batter. Over-mixing can make the bread dense. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated.
    • Customize your bread. Add nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits to make this recipe your own.

    TOP TIPS for which Temperature to Bake

    If you are baking this banana bread in glass loaf pans, bake them at 375 degrees F for 45-55 minutes. You will want to reduce your baking temp by 25 degrees if you are using a dark pan.

    There you have it, folks! A super easy, incredibly moist, and delicious Coconut Oil Banana Bread recipe. Perfect for any time of the day. Give it a try, and don't forget to share your results with us. We’d love to see how your banana bread turns out!
