How to Make Whole Wheat Honey Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
