Ingredients

• Spelt flour – Spelt is an ancient variety of wheat. As a whole grain, it contains fiber, protein, and important nutrients. 
• Bananas – You’re going to need a good amount of ripe bananas for this recipe, about 3 – 4 of them.
• Honey – Sweetens the recipe while also giving some flavor and moisture.
• Avocado oil – Avocado oil is a great healthy neutral oil for baking.
• Cinnamon – A classic spice for banana bread that goes great with the banana flavor.
• Baking powder and baking soda – The leaveners in the recipe. Spelt can lead to flat bakes, but the combination of baking powder and baking soda help lift this loaf up while baking.
• Salt – You always need some salt to round out those flavors. Kosher salt is what’s used in this recipe.

How to make spelt banana bread

1. Prep. Place an oven rack in the center position and heat your oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 9” x 5” loaf pan.
2. Mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, honey, oil, and baking soda together until everything is combined and no oil is separate from the mixture.
3. Whisk the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until it’s well distributed.
4. Combine everything. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir until no dry patches of flour remain.
5. Bake. Pour all the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If you want to, add half a banana that’s been cut lengthwise to the top of the loaf. Bake for 50 – 55 minutes.
6. Cool and enjoy! Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove from the loaf pan and let cool entirely on a wire rack. 

And that’s it! It truly is as simple as that.

Tips for egg-free banana bread

• Use ripe bananas. The bananas don’t need to be black, but bananas that are generously speckled with brown spots are sweeter, softer, and more flavorful than less ripe fruit.
• Weigh ingredients. Weighing your ingredients makes for more accurate ingredient amounts. Not only that, weighing your ingredients equals less dishes and you can make a recipe faster!
• Customize. You can easily customize this bread to your liking. Add nuts such as walnuts or pecans. Chocolate chips make a great addition too, as well as dried fruit such as dried cranberries. 
• Wait overnight. Although it can be really hard to do, waiting overnight to eat this spelt banana bread is a great idea. The banana bread is even more flavorful the next day.

Storing

Let the banana bread cool completely. Once it’s completely cooled, cover the bread with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store on the counter for up to 2 days.
