Equipment

Large Bowl
Whisk
9x5 loaf pan
Non-stick Cooking Spray

Ingredients

⅓ cup melted coconut oil
½ cup honey
2 eggs
3 bananas mashed
¼ cup milk (I used 1%, but almond milk or soy milk works great)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1¾ cups white whole wheat flour (or regular whole wheat flour)
½ cup mini Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9 × 5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together together with a whisk.
Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas (you want about 1 cup of mashed banana) and milk. (If your coconut oil starts to solidify, warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave until it's liquid again.)
Mix in the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend.
Using a large spoon, stir in the flour, just until combined (It's okay if it's a little lumpy!)
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and and if desired, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and additional chocolate chips.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
