Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 2 packets of chai tea
  • 3/4 cups white all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • you can use all white or all wheat based on your personal preferences
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cups brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Maple Glaze:
  • 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tbsp Milk
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Peel and mash up the bananas with a fork and then add the coconut oil, honey, vanilla, egg and brown sugar. Use a handheld mixer on medium to blend the ingredients together. Next add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and 3/4 cup wheat flour, using the mixer on low blend until smooth and then add the white flour and repeat.
  • The last step is adding the tea. You will want to cup open two tea bags and then add the tea to the mixture. Pour the mixture into a standard loaf pan and then bake in the oven at 350 degrees for approx. 60 minutes or until a knife/toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the loaf is well-browned.
  • While the loaf is baking you can mix the glaze by combining the maple syrup, milk and powdered sugar. I find powdered sugar can be a bit tricky, so you may need to add an extra tsp of milk if it is too thick or a little bit more powdered sugar if it is too watery.
  • Once the loaf is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the bread in a back and forth motion. Serve warm with a mug of chai tea or whatever sounds good to you. Store in an airtight container for up to two days. If you want to store longer omit the glaze. You can even freeze the bread in slices for up to three months and then microwave a slice for 30 seconds for an anytime quick snack.
