Instead of 3 cups whole wheat flour, I used 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup GF flour, 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup flaxseed meal. Also used 3.5 bananas (would’ve been 4 but my son ate some

Delish! New fav banana bread recipe

I left out the milk accidentally and this is still my favorite banana bread. I cut back on the flour a bit, but also used 3/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup flax & chia..could handle more if milk is used! Sprinkled top with pecans & walnuts. Baked in brownie pan for about 25 min.

Used honey and butter (in place of oil). Bakes for about 49 min. I didn’t expect my husband to like it because the recipe says “healthy”, which is a word you might not associate with banana bread hahah but he surprisingly did! Half of it was gone right out of the oven hahah

Used maple syrup instead of honey. Not too sweet of a banana bread, but I still really liked it. Would make it again

I used coconut oil and tallow honey, plus added walnuts (3/4 cups) and blueberries (1/2 cup). Convection baked for 60 minutes at 325. It was moist and just sweet enough. Delicious!

Super simple and tasty. I didn't have enough honey so it isn't really sweet but I still like it. I will definitely make it again.

A good bread! Simple enough and versatile for add ins and replacements for dietary reasons! I added vegan chocolate chips in and on top it was so yummy! :)

First time baking this and it didn't disappoint. Just tasted a slither of a slice and it was lovely, moist and delicious. Will be baking this again. I did add pumpkin seeds to decorate.

used avocado oil, oat milk, maple syrup, and 1/2 regular all-purpose and 1/2 gluten-free. added nutmeg, hint of cloves + walnuts, cacao nibs, and chocolate chips. moist but firm, not too sweet, and tastes healthy but not in a bad way at all.

I used honey and coconut oil and 3/4 of a cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of regular flour I would add a little more salt. I added walnuts and chocolate chips and it was nice. I had to tent the top to prevent from over crisping

Used sprouted organic spelt flour with honey as the sweetener. Took longer to cook but taste was good.
