Honey Almond Banana Bread

We all know banana bread seems to be the after thought of bananas gone bad but regardless of that no-fail recipe your Aunt Mary gave you. Maybe trying a new twist isn't so bad. I used honey to sweeten this banana bread and almonds instead of the classic walnut pairing.

You will need:

• 1/2 butter or oil 
• 1/2 cup honey 
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 over ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 1/2 cup flour (I used almond and oat flours, mixed) 
• 1/2 cup coarse chopped almonds
• 1 tsp baking soda 
• 1/2 tsp vanilla 
• dash of salt 

Combine the dry ingredients and set aside. 

Preheat the oven to 350. 

Cream the butter (melted) and honey with sugar on medium with your mixer. 

Add in the eggs one at a time and scrape the sides down with a spatula. Add the vanilla and bananas while mixing on medium speed as well as the salt. 

Slowly add in the flour and fold in the almonds. 

Pour mixture in a greased traditional sized bread pan. 

Bake for 60 minutes or until cooked through in the center.
