Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour

Clean swaps

How we upgrade the restaurant version with better ingredients.

  • granulated sugar → organic coconut sugar — Avoids highly refined white sugar in favor of a minimally processed, lower-glycemic sweetener.
  • all-purpose flour → organic sprouted grain flour — Replaces heavily processed white flour with nutrient-dense grains that offer higher fiber and better digestion.
  • unsalted butter → grass-fed butter — Ensures a cleaner source of healthy fats without the industrial additives found in standard commercial butter.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until they reach a chunky paste consistency.
  3. Add the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract; stir until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, then gently fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and level the surface with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
