This Banana Bread recipe is sweetened with Raw Honey, straight from our beehives!

Banana Bread with Raw Honey

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup almond flour (optional; you can sub all-purpose)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, you can omit)

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• heavy dash of nutmeg

• 1/2 cup butter at room temperature

• 3/4 cup HONEY

• 2 eggs at room temperature

• 4 ripe bananas, mashed

• 1/4 cup milk or half n half

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

*This recipe would work best in a bunt pan. A 9x5 loaf pan can overflow.

**The honey will create a delicious crystalized crust on the bread. Because the sugars in honey can burn, do not overcook.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease bunt pan or loaf pan. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, chia seeds, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional vanilla protein powder. Set aside.

3. Using a mixer, cream butter and honey together. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture. Do not overstir.

4. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the center is done.

5. Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
