Banana Bread is one of my favourites and I have made it into a trillion different versions. It is one of the recipes that you don’t need to add any extra sweetener as the bananas give it heaps of sweetness. The trick is to use really ripe bananas.

RECIPE FAQS
Using room temperature eggs will make the batter so much easier to mix together. If you use eggs that have just come out of the fridge then you run the risk of the coconut oil firming up and solidifying and you may end up with chunks of coconut oil in your muffins. I take my eggs out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before I need to make the recipe.
I am a big fan of using silicone baking wear as I find them super easy to use plus the food does not stick and you use up less baking paper/muffin cases.
But you can use the metal ones as well. These muffins will look really cute in the fancy muffins cases. But if you want them not to stick to the muffin cases, then make sure you use parchment paper ones
The cook time varies from 15 – 20 minutes depending on your oven. It is best to test the muffins with a tooth pick at 15 minutes and see whether it comes out clean.
You can keep stored in an air-tight container for 3-4 days at room temperature.
