Healthy Banana Bread (My new go to recipe)

This banana bread recipe is actually very similar to a previous one I've baked and loved. Instead of maple syrup and almond milk, I subbed with honey and Greek yogurt and upped the amount of coconut oil from 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup. The resulting loaf is lightly sweetened with a moist interior and a nice crust.

If you have an extra egg, banana and don't mind some refined sugar, try this other recipe I have on the blog! For now, this healthier version will be on my regular rotation. It makes for a nice grab and go breakfast treat for those dreadful early work mornings.
