High Fiber Banana Bread Ingredients
For the banana bread:
- 1 ½ -¾ cups (375-400 g) mashed ripe bananas (3-4 bananas)
- 7 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (use 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 white whole wheat flour for even more fiber)
- 60 grams ground golden flaxseed (about ~3.5-4 tbsp worth)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tbsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp flakey salt
For the streusel topping (optional):
- 3 tbsp flour
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter
💡 The streusel topping is totally optional but damn...it's very good. You can also ditch the topping and add chocolate chips or nuts to the banana bread batter. I personally love roughly chopped-up dark chocolate and walnuts.
High Fiber Banana Bread Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Step 2
Using a stand mixer or a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Whisk together the flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a separate mixing bowl.
Step 4
With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Once the dry ingredients are in, turn the mixer speed up and mix the batter until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX.
Step 5
Add all the streusel ingredients together in a small mixing bowl and mix using a fork to break up any brown sugar bits.
Step 6
Grease a 9.25 X 5.25 X 2.75-inch loaf pan (1.5 QUART) and add the banana bread batter. Top with streusel and flakey salt. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out relatively clean (it's a very moist banana bread, so a few crumbs are okay). Let cool for 15 minutes (longer if you can handle it), and then dig in. Bottoms up!
