The BEST banana bread. EVER.

The BEST Banana Bread 

This morning I really wanted to make something, so I started flipping through some cookbooks for ideas for foods to make healthier and decided to make banana bread! I changed up the recipe from the Magnolia Bakery cookbook, and it turned out SO good!! It is healthier because I reduced the sugar, replaced the fat, and modified and added some ingredients, for example, greek yogurt instead of sour cream, but do not worry it is still crazy good!

Banana Bread: 

• 3 cups of flour (I used 1 cup of oat, and 2 cups of gluten free    all purpose) 
• 1  1/2 tsp. of baking soda 
• 1 tsp. of cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp. of salt 
• 3/4 cup of coconut oil 
• 1 cup of sugar (I used half a cup of Swerve and half a cup of sugar) 
• 2 eggs 
• 1  1/2 tsp. of vanilla
• 2 mashed bananas 
• 3/4 cup of yogurt
• optional: pecans, walnuts, coconut, chia seeds 

Glaze: 

• 1/2 cup warm coconut oil 
• 3/4 cup Swerve/Sugar 
• optional: cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray 2 nine inch loaf pans. In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl cream together oil and sugar. Next, add (in the large bowl) the eggs and vanilla. Now, add the bananas and yogurt and make sure it is very well combined, (The easiest way to mash bananas is to squish them while they are still unpeeled and then just squeeze them into the bowl!) Finally, add the dry ingredients until just combined and transfer to pans. Bake for 35 minutes, then enjoy! Try not to eat the whole thing at once ;)
