whole wheat banana bread

there is no better combination than a rainy thursday in my book.
i've said it before, i'll say it again. best type of weather + best day of the week.
today is perfect. the smell of rain is so strong, and i am wearing my new pink hunter rain boots. i even woke up hearing the rain against the window. the only thing that would make it better is some whole wheat banana bread, don't you think? here's our recipe.. enjoy!


whole wheat banana bread

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil {can sub coconut oil}
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bananas, mashed {2-3 bananas}
  • 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup hot water
