Recently, it was suggested that I try to consume 2 T of coconut oil every day. I'd like to say I've been able to, but it's a fairly impossible assignment. If you do a search on the healing properties of coconut oil, you'll be amazed at what you read.

I took this recipe and made a few changes (I can never leave a recipe as it's written) and this has to be the best banana bread I've ever had! Here you go!

1 cup br. suagar
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 large eggs
3 large mashed bananas
1/2 cup buttermilk (I used Silk brand coconut milk)
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt (or less)
1 cup chopped nuts (I used dates) or blueberres

Any one who bakes, knows how to put it all together so I won't kill myself by typing the directions!

350 degree oven
2 loaves or 5 mini loaves

Enjoy!

Yummy Cherry that sounds delicious. I'm going to the store tomorrow and picking up what I need to make this. I already have coconut oil it's suppose to be the cure for dementia as well as so many other health benefits. I'm trying to use it in place of butter and other things. I told my dad he has to take this daily also so if you have more creative ways to use this daily please share them with me.

I can't wait to bite into a warm piece of banana bread.

Cherry, Is the coconut oil that is sold in the grocery store or a health food store?
I have 2 frozen bananas I was keeping for something.

I use coconut oil too. I heard that the vegetable oils are not good for you so I substitute coconut oil. I use it to fry veggies or eggs. Olive oil is good too but apparently, it's not good for frying...good in salads and dressings.
And instead of sugar, I substitute Stevia, a natural sweetener. You only need 1 tsp of Stevia for 1 cup of sugar.

I always change all my recipes too Cherry!
It's more fun to make it personal (even if it doesn't always work lol!

Pauli...mine came from a natural food store, but I've seen it in the grocery store for more $$$. Same brand, too!

Cherry I've been on a baking frenzy lately and this sounds so...yummy. I have to make every recipe my own too.

When using oil to fry with the most healthiest is suppose to be canola oil. I still use olive oil sometimes though, it doesn't take much of it.

I use coconut oil to make soap so I have some on hand and this recipe sounds great. Coconut oil can be pricey but I found it at Meijer for around five bucks which is pretty cheap for oil.

Lets everyone make so bread today and have a party, we could add some nuts and be nutty as well
