Whole wheat walnut banana bread with honey and coconut oil

A couple days ago I have made a banana bread with all natural ingredients, using honey instead of sugar, and butter instead of oil. Tonight, I made a little twist, I used coconut oil and the banana bread still tasted very good.  Mr. S cannot taste any difference, but I think I could taste the deliciousness of coconut in the bread. Yum!!!

















Ingredients
*1 1/4 cup organic whole wheat flour
*1/2 cup organic oat
*1/3 cup organic flaxseed
*1/4 teaspoon salt
*1 teaspoon baking powder
*1/3 teaspoon nutmeg
*2 farm fresh eggs
*3 over ripe banana, mashed
*1/2 cup organic coconut oil, melted
*1/2 cup raw honey
*1/2 teaspoon vanilla
*1 cup chopped organic walnut


Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan, and set aside. Whisk together the flour, oat, flaxseed, salt, baking powder and nutmeg in a medium bowl, and set aside.
2) In a large bowl, using a electric mixer to combine eggs, banana, melted cocount oil , honey, vanilla, and mix until combined. Add the reserved flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated, about 10 seconds. Stir in walnuts.
3) Pour batter into buttered pan. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50-55 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan on a wire rack. Invert bread to unmold; reinvert, and let cool completely on rack.
