Ingredients
Melted coconut oil or vegetable oil, ⅓ cup (75g)

Mashed ripe bananas, 1 cup (225g) from ~2½ medium bananas
Non-dairy milk, ¼ cup (56g)
Baking soda, 1 tsp
Vanilla extract, 1 tsp
Salt, ½ tsp
Ground cinnamon, ½ tsp plus more for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper

Add melted oil, honey, and mashed bananas; mix until smooth
Stir in non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon
In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients (starting with baking soda and salt)
