Clean Eating Banana Pecan Bread
A healthier (and just as tasty) version of the classic Banana Nut Bread!
Perfect for breakfast and perfect for dessert…..this bread is fantastic for your clean eating needs! I always like to have a clean eating “sweet” option in our house for when a sweet tooth craving hits…..sure, I could always opt for a piece of fresh fruit or greek yogurt…..BUT sometimes…..most of the time…..I want something “cakey”…..something that will fill the doughnut-pie-cake-pastry-biscuit-pancake-waffle-cheesecake void in the pit of my soul. I was only able to eat two slices of this bread before my Husband got to it…..needless to say…..it’s freaking good for being a clean eating “sweet” recipe…..just saying…..
Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease an 8½”x4½” loaf pan with coconut oil spray. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the acocado oil and honey. Beat in the eggs; add in the milk and mashed bananas; mix.
Whisk in the baking soda, pure vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon. Using a spatula, stir in the whole wheat flour until combined; stir in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan; sprinkle with cinnamon and top with whole pecans.
Bake for 55 minutes; transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely; slice and store in an airtight container.
