Avocado Oil Banana Bread that will quickly become a household favorite!
Banana bread, Abby? Really? How creative – NOT.
Listen, I’m not here to impress (haha) The classics stand the test of time for a reason, and when I can find a healthier twist to The Thome Home’s #1 Banana Bread recipe, you bet your ass I am going to share it!
Have you brought Avocado Oil into your kitchen, yet?
Babes, do it now! Here are a few impressive facts about this amazing oil:
Over the past year I have worked really hard to get vegetable oil and canola oil out of our house. There are still a few cake recipes here and there that I just cannot seem to swap for.
Every other swap Рfrom frying, saut̩ing , dressings and more has elevated our food to a healthier and far more delicious level!
You can find Avocado Oil just about anywhere these days, and with a high smoke point (up to 520*) it is no wonder cooks are turning to this oil to take over their kitchen creations.
So whether you are pan frying breaded chicken, or using avocado oil in my banana bread recipe – I could not recommend adding this to your arsenal. You’ll be so glad you did!
Now it’s time to make this incredible banana bread!
Preheat oven to 350* Prepare dish of choice (For bread pans – line with parchment paper. For muffin tin, line with muffin liners)
In a large bowl, with a handheld mixer, mix together the bananas, and both sugars until bananas are as smooth as you can get them (2-3 minutes). Add avocado oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla – mix together an additional minute or so until everything is completely incorporated. Next, put in the flour, baking soda + powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix until batter is smooth and creamy!
For banana bread, divide batter evenly amongst two bread pans.
Let’s Bake!
Bake at 350* for 50-60 minutes, until bread has cooked through – insert a toothpick, pull out and little to-no crumbs should be attached. Set bread pans on a wire rack to cool – Enjoy!
For muffins, fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way up. Bake at 350* for 13-17 minutes, just until when you insert a toothpick little to no crumbs are attached. When you push on the middle of a muffin, it should feel bouncy! You’ll know it is cooked through and ready to enjoy! Let muffin tins cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy this incredible banana bread any way you like! My boys love it smeared with a generous dollop of butter 🙂
