Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan with coconut oil.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Stir in brown sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add baking soda and salt to the mixture and stir.
Gradually fold in the sifted flour until just combined; don’t overmix.
If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use overripe bananas that are well spotted. If you want to add a bit of texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for later enjoyment.
