Ingredients

2 large overripe bananas or 3 small
¼ cup honey
¼ cup coconut oil melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg*
⅓ cup coconut sugar
1½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1½ cup quick cooking oats
1¼ cup wholemeal plain flour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C and grease and line a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Add in the honey, coconut oil, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon and egg and mix together. Add in the sugar and whisk to combine.
To the bowl add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour and mix until a thick batter forms. Add in oats and fold through using a spatula.
Pour mixture into the prepared pan ensuring it is evenly spread and top with a sprinkle of oats. Bake in fan forced oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top and a skewer when inserted comes out clean.
Let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving as is or with some dairy free butter and an extra drizzle of honey.

Notes

Adapted from Ceara’s Kitchen

Vegan Option! Recipe can be made vegan by replacing the egg with a flax egg and swapping the honey for maple syrup.

Tip! Measure the coconut oil first before using the same measuring cup for the honey. The residual oil in the cup will allow the honey to easily slip out without having to scrape the sides and make a mess.
