- 1 pinch fine sea salt

- ¼ c coconut oil, melted
- ¼ c raw honey, or Swerve sugar replacement
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ c mashed very ripe banana, about 4 medium
- ⅔ c chopped walnuts

- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.

- NOTE: Make sure you measure the bananas. Exact measurements are very important when baking breads. The estimate of 4 bananas is simply that. You will need 2 1/2 cups of banana mash.
- Stir the banana mash into the egg mixture.
- Add in the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
- Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is mixed in.
- Stir in half of the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped walnuts and the pumpkin seeds on top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the banana bread tests done in the center with a wooden pick.
- Carefully remove the loaf to a rack to cool.
- Enjoy warm or room temperature.
Notes
- In the second half of the baking time, monitor the color of the banana bread. If it starts getting too dark, tent it with some foil to keep it from browning further.
- Store uneaten banana bread in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic or in an airtight container.
