Homemade Banana Bread
Constantly throwing away old bananas? Maybe this can be a helpful solution! Homemade Banana Bread is the best way to avoid wasting old bananas that are too soft to enjoy. This recipe works best when you freeze your old bananas for a few days and once you have 3 old bananas then you are ready to begin 🙂
Traditional banana bread recipes call for butter, but instead we are going to swap the butter for Extra Virgin Olive Oil to “health” it up a bit! Using a healthy butter alternative such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil not only reduces your intake of unwanted saturated fats but it also adds antioxidants and vitamins to your now healthier homemade banana bread treat. Not only does it make the snack healthier, it also is now dairy-free and will stay fresher for longer too!
For this recipe, you can choose any Extra Virgin Olive Oil, while using a flavored EVOO can enhance the experience by adding subtle notes of fruits if desired. You can shop our line of proprietary Extra Virgin Olive Oil blends here!
