Banana Bread with Honey

Why honey? First off, we don’t typically carry processed sugars in our home. But we do have farm fresh honey from a local bee keeper!

The raw honey is such a better and much more of a healthy alternative to processed sugars.

I also skipped the vegetable oil and replaced it with coconut oil.

This recipe is somewhat versatile and can be made with a few flour options. I’ve tried it with organic all-purpose flour, einkorn flour, and bread flour. And they have all turned out perfectly without any other changes to the recipe.

I have not tried it with any other flours though, so I can’t speak to how those would turn out.
