Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

Step 2

Use butter or coconut oil to grease the inside of a loaf pan (8.5 x 4.5 inch) and set aside.

Step 3

Mash the bananas with a fork in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, then use a hand mixer to blend everything together for 30 seconds. Pour the batter into the loaf pan

Step 4

Peel and slice the fresh banana in half lengthwise, then place it on top of the batter.

Step 5

Cook the banana bread for 50-60 minutes. If the top gets too golden, you can cover with a piece of aluminum foil. Use a toothpick to test that the banana bread is cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the banana bread and let it cool for 5 minutes in the loaf pan. Then slice it up and enjoy.
