🧾 INGREDIENTS YOU NEED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✅ 3 large ripe bananas (the browner, the better!)
✅ 1/3 cup coconut oil or neutral plant oil
✅ 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
✅ 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
✅ 1 teaspoon baking soda
✅ 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
✅ 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
✅ 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
✅ 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
✅ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
✅ 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
✅ Optional: 2 tablespoons oat flour for extra fluffiness

🛒 Shopping tip: Check that your baking soda and spices have clean ingredient labels.
All ingredients here are naturally free from questionable additives or animal-derived enzymes.
You keep everything clean and straightforward with whole, recognizable foods.

👩‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
This prevents your banana bread loaf from sticking and makes removal easy.

2️⃣ In one large mixing bowl, mash your 3 ripe bananas with a fork.
You want them mostly smooth with just a few small chunks remaining.
Those tiny banana pieces create pockets of extra moisture in your final bread.

3️⃣ Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and eggs to the mashed bananas.
Mix everything together until well combined and slightly creamy.
The mixture should look uniform without any separated oil pools.

4️⃣ Sprinkle in the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Stir gently to distribute the leavening agents evenly throughout the batter.
This step ensures your banana bread rises properly and doesn’t sink in the middle.

5️⃣ Gradually add the flour while folding with a spatula.
Mix until just combined – do not overmix or your bread becomes tough.
A few small flour streaks are okay; they will disappear during baking.

6️⃣ Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans gently.
You can reserve a few nuts to sprinkle on top before baking for decoration.
This adds lovely crunch and visual appeal to your banana nut bread recipe.

7️⃣ Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan smoothly.
Use your spatula to spread it evenly and create a flat top surface.
Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any large air bubbles.

8️⃣ Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
The top should be golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.
If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

9️⃣ Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
This prevents the bread from breaking apart when you cut it.

🔟 Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze individual slices for quick breakfast options.
