Banana Bread

I love this recipe. It is a staple. I have made it on a regular basis now for years, and over the years I have made the original recipe more healthful. Adding in flaxseed, coconut oil, shredded carrot etc. It is such an easy recipe to add favourite items to. I always think of my godmother when I make this recipe, she is 93 years old now and was the one who first introduced me to her recipe of her homemade banana bread
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1/4 cup of melted coconut oil
1 egg (OR egg replacements such as: 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp of water OR 1/3 cup of applesauce)
1.5 cup of rice flour (wheat, or Bob's Redmill All purpose Flour)
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of vanilla
1 grated carrot (optional)
1 cup of raisins (optional)

Directions:
Mix together, bake in muffin cups or in an 8x8 pan for 20-30 minutes or until brown on top and cooked all the way through!  Makes about 12 regular sized muffins. They freeze well.
