Honey Whole Wheat Banana Bread

This recipe takes whole wheat flour, combines it with mashed banana, melted coconut oil and a handful of pantry staples (we’re talking 1 teaspoon baking soda and less than 1 teaspoon salt) and turns out a satisfying, healthy loaf. One of the best parts: All the mixing takes place in one large bowl. Another nice bonus: The recipe lets you use either whole wheat pastry flour or regular whole wheat flour.
