[F4A] Cooking with Jaye: Banana bread [Cooking][Bread] (Patreon)

This is the recipe here

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup (75 grams) melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil or high quality vegetable oil*
• 1/2 cup honey (168 grams) or maple syrup (155 grams)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (225 grams) mashed ripe bananas (about 2 1/2 medium or 2 large bananas)
• 1/4 cup (56 grams) milk of choice or water
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (NOT baking powder; they aren’t the same!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to swirl on top
• 1 3/4 cups (220 grams) white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour**
• Totally optional: 1/2 cup mix-ins like chopped walnuts or pecans,  chocolate chips, raisins, chopped dried fruit, fresh banana slices…

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey  together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the  mashed bananas and milk. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with  cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few  minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in  the microwave.)
3. Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and  cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in  the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! If you’re adding any  additional mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
4. Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan  and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you’d like a pretty swirled  effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a  toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I  haven’t added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 55 minutes; if I have  added mix-ins, it needs closer to 60 minutes). Let the bread cool in the  loaf pan for at least 10 minutes. You may need to run a butter knife  around the edges to loosen the bread from the pan. Carefully transfer  the loaf to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
