Ingredients
  

Banana Bread:

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Lemon Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 –2 tbsp lemon juice adjust for desired thickness
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your loaf pan like the boss you are.
  • In a bowl, mash the bananas until they look like your last breakup—soft and unrecognizable.
  • Add melted oil, sugar, milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and zest. Whisk until it looks like potential.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, soda, salt, and poppy seeds—nothing fancy, just mixed.
  • Combine dry and wet ingredients. Stir gently like you’re folding delicate secrets.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Level it out because uneven bread is chaotic energy.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then move it to a wire rack—patience, darling.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest for the glaze. Drizzle over cooled bread like edible sunshine.
  • Slice, serve, and make everyone think you’ve got your life together. Even if you're eating it in pajamas.
