Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups banana, mashed extremely well (about 3-4 medium bananas)
- 2 cups spelt flour (spooned and leveled into the measuring cup)
- 1 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup neutral oil (like avocado or vegetable oil)
- ⅓ cup plain yogurt (this keeps it incredibly moist!)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: ⅓ cup chocolate chips, nuts, or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash your bananas until they are smooth. Whisk in your sugar until the mixture is fully combined and looks a bit glossy.
- Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs and vanilla, giving it a good mix. Then, pour in the oil and yogurt. Whisk until everything is smooth and incorporated.
- Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the wet mixture, then add your spelt flour. Pro-tip: Mix until just combined. You want to stop as soon as you see no more dry flour streaks. This keeps the bread tender!
- Add-ins: If you’re feeling fancy, fold in your chocolate chips or nuts now.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Pop it in the oven for 50–55 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let it cool in the pan for a bit before transferring to a wire rack.
