Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Optional add-ins: Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruits
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mash bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they turn into a smooth consistency.
- Combine wet ingredients: Add the eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add optional mix-ins: If desired, fold in any additional ingredients like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits into the batter.
- Pour into pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the banana panqué cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
