Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 3 medium Overripe Bananas Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Clover Honey Delivers a sweet flavor; feel free to substitute with raw wildflower or orange blossom honey.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8-9 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, and optionally line with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and clover honey until smooth. Add room temperature eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold into the wet mixture without overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice the bread and enjoy warm with butter or as a snack.
