butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Dark chocolate has less sugar and provides antioxidants.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: pecans

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Pecans offer a similar texture and flavor, while sunflower seeds are nut-free.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: oat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease a 20x7cm mold with butter or cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Add melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.

Stir in sugar, yeast, and fresh milk until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together bread flour and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in pumpkin seeds if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared mold and smooth the top.

Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the mold for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
