BA Banana Bread
(listed in the order I dump them in the bowl and stir them together)

3/4 cup raw sugar 
1/3 cup organic whole milk*
1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil**
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt 
1.5 cups unbleached, all purpose flour (I use King Arthur's)
big shake of ground cinnamon
3 ripe bananas, well mashed

Grease a loaf pan with some of the fractionated coconut oil
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes

Cool on a rack, flip out, slice one piece at a time to keep it moist and enjoy! 


*I know some people don't do dairy... I'm sorry about your loss. I don't have a good suggestion for substitutions. Also, if you've followed me for any length of time, you know that I'm not a stickler for Organic labels  BUT milk is one of those areas that I absolutely am! The difference in taste is HUGE, and all it takes is one bad dive down the rabbit hole of learning about non-organic milk to turn your stomach over. So anyway, I think you should use real milk if you don't have dietary restrictions, and I think it should be in it's most natural state (full, good fat) and Organic.

**If you don't have fractionated coconut oil or know why it's good for you, you can melt down the same amount of regular unrefined coconut oil or melt down the same amount of butter....
BUT FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY PLEASE STOP BUYING CANOLA (("vegetable")) OIL, PEOPLE! Why?! Watch how it's made and then go light it on fire. Well actually don't light it on fire because there might be an explosion.
The "plant" is a GMO weed that was created to reduce the amount of dangerous Erucic acid present in the extracted matter. The claim that Canola (stands for "Canadian Oil Low Acid" not an actual plant) has a lower saturated fat level than other oils and is therefore "healthier" is debatable in nutrition circles  and also not a good enough reason to consume something that's made the way that Canola oil is made.
