Honey Banana Bread

Megan Weimer
This honey banana bread is made with honey instead of sugar, making it incredibly moist with a tender crumb. The sweetness from the honey and bananas paired with subtle spice from the cinnamon makes it a go-to, slightly healthier banana bread recipe to make for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack.

Banana Bread

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease an 9x5" inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • Mash the bananas in a large bowl and then whisk in the eggs, oil, honey, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
    2 cups mashed bananas, 2 large eggs, ½ cup oil, ⅔ cup honey, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Fold the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into the wet ingredients just until you can't see any dry streaks of flour.
    2 cups all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and smooth out the top.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and turbinado sugar.
    1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoon turbinado sugar
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the banana bread batter. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Let it cool completely, slice, and enjoy.
