Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• 2 teaspoons "ROAR" 
• 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour mix)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (Gas Mark 4). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and "Roar" supplement to the wet mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
4. Incorporate the Flour: Gradually fold in the flour, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
5. Optional Add-Ins: If desired, stir in chopped nuts, pecans, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavour.
6. Prepare and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
