Honey Banana Bread

The best, moist and easiest banana bread sweetened with ripe bananas and honey.

This must be one of the most beautiful recipes that can be made with softened, spotty, over-riped bananas.

I love baking and eating banana bread really much so that I made various recipes so far. In the past, I was baking it with brown sugar and butter. However, the change in my diet led to the birth of this more healthy recipe. Butter is replaced with coconut oil, sugar with honey, and white flour with spelt flour.

Regarding the consistency, it matters for me to bake a moist cake inside and crispy outside. It should be also as simple as possible. I don’t like that much to add additional ingredients like walnuts, dried grapes or chocolate chunks. So, this is a classic banana bread recipe that I mix the ingredients quickly and put it in the oven in five minutes. But the real fun starts after cooking;
