Ingredients

2 cups bananas mashed ripe, about 3 to 4 bananas
¾ cup coconut sugar
⅓ cup maple syrup
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups whole wheat spelt flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan (or line it with parchment paper).
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, coconut sugar, maple syrup, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt over the banana mixture.
Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool for 20 minutes then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Lining the bread pan with parchment paper will make it much easier to remove the banana bread. It will also guarantee that the bread will not get stuck in the pan.
Let the banana bread cool for 20 minutes before you remove it from the pan.
