  • ½ cup raw honey
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (2-3 bananas)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly oil a glass 9″ pan.

In a large bowl whisk together the oil, honey, eggs, banana, milk, and vanilla.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Add the dry to the wet, stir until just mixed.

Scrape into the prepared pan, smooth out.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.

Let cool on a rack before frosting.
