Description

This ultra moist banana bread recipe incorporates some of the best Autumn flavors. Made with a combination of apples, bananas, Greek yogurt, and coconut oil, this recipe is lower in added sugar than other banana bread options, and butter-free.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 apple
  • 2 medium bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Topping: 1 apple

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃ and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the apple into small cubes.
  3. Mash the bananas with a fork in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add the eggs, canola oil, coconut butter, Greek yogurt and vanilla to the mixing bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are well-combined.
  5. Add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Stir until all the ingredients are well-combined, and a thick batter forms.
  6. Mix the apple cubes into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the lined loaf tin, and smooth with a spatula.
  8. Thinly slice the remaining apple, and arrange on top of the batter.
  9. Insert the loaf tin into the oven, and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Start checking the banana bread after roughly 35-40 minutes).
  10. Allow the banana bread to cool. Enjoy!
