1/3 cup extra virgin  coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 to 4 medium to large, overripe bananas, mashed
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. 
6. Cool loaf in pan for 30 mins and then on wire rack for an additional 20 minutes before slicing.
