If you’re looking for a quick and simple way to use up those extra ripe bananas sitting on your counter, this Whole Wheat Banana Bread is the perfect solution! With only 8 wholesome ingredients, this naturally sweetened banana bread is an easy and delicious treat for busy mornings or a cozy afternoon snack with your cup of coffee or matcha.

This banana bread is soft, moist, and just the right amount of sweet—without any refined sugar! Instead of traditional sugar, I use maple syrup to naturally sweeten the bread, giving it a rich, warm flavor that pairs beautifully with cinnamon and vanilla. It’s a healthier take on a classic recipe, made with a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for the perfect balance of nutrition and texture.
