Keeping your banana bread moist after baking will depend on how you store it. Once it’s cooled off and you’ve had your slice or two, wrap or cover it with foil or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

Can I use something other than coconut oil?
Yes you can. Any neutral tasting oil or melted butter
Perfect! I love this recipe! I have even cut the honey down to few tablespoons, and it tastes amazing.
Great. Glad you liked it
Wondering why 2 separate mesures of baking soda and not 2 1/2 tsp?? I’m i missing something?
Thanks Rena!
Hi. It is not. It is 1 tsp baking soda and 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
I’M so Glad I found your site!! . This was delicious and loved by my family of 6 and gusts as well. Keep us coming back!
Thank you so much. Appreciate it
Can this be frozen?
Yes you can. Tightly wrap it before you freeze
HI Rena, i just put this bread into the oven, but had to put a bit in a cruuet as it would have overflowed; maybe 4 bananas is a bit too much/ i prefer that we’re given a cup size rather than 1-4 bananas, please? as i’m still not comfortable using coconut oil, i used a lite olive oil, and raw honey, so am anxious to taste this healthy(used whole what flour) that i really bake to gift! My NEWEST neighbors cannot have any dairy at all, so think they will love this! the top usually rises a bit, but this one did not?? will let u know what they think, thx:): kelli
This is really good and very moist! Everyone in my household liked it. I used a 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of honey. I added 1/3 cup milk protein powder, but other than that no other changes. I made it as two smaller loaves. Next time I’d like to add some cinnamon. This is a keeper!
Thanks for the feedback.
