You'll Need
- Muffin tin and/or Loaf pan
- Paper liners or cooking spray
- Large mixing bowl
- Mixing spoon or spatula
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Ingredients
- 3–4 ripe bananas, mashed
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Earth Wake Organic Dried Banana Slices, diced
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
Sprinkle the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt over the mixture and stir to incorporate.
Add the flour, diced dried banana slices, and chocolate chips or walnuts, if using. Stir just until everything comes together. Over mixing develops the gluten in the flour, so a gentle hand will give you a more tender loaf.
Divide the batter between your prepared loaf pan and muffin tin.
Bake the muffins for 30–40 minutes and the loaf for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

The fresh bananas keep everything moist, while the chopped dried banana slices create little pockets of chewy sweetness throughout every slice.
Most of the foods we create begin the same way: with something we already love eating and a simple question—how can we make it easier to enjoy this real food in everyday life?
Sometimes the best innovation isn't inventing something new.
Sometimes it's simply making real food easier to reach.
