Ingredients

Instructions

  • Melt the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the bananas, the vanilla, the cinnamon, and the maple syrup. Cook for around 5 minutes or until the bananas have caramelized, mashing them with the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a baking pan and set aside.
  • In a bowl mix the banana mixture with the greek yogurt. Beat in the eggs and mix until well incorporated (around 2 minutes). Add the flours and the baking powder and mix in well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Drop teaspoonsful of peanut butter onto the banana bread batter and gently swirl with the tip of a knife.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until done.

Notes

Don't have ripe bananas? No problem.
The bananas don't need to be super ripe in order for this to be delicious. We are caramelizing them with the maple syrup and the coconut oil. That releases all the natural sugars present in the banana so they are extra sweet (which is the main reason why we don't need to add any refined sugar to this recipe). 
Gluten Free? 
If you're gluten free you can swap the Whole Wheat Flour for an AP Gluten Free Flour Blend.
