Maple Cinnamon Banana Bread- Bri

This is a recipe of my own creation.  I have only in the last couple of years begun to really enjoy banana bread.  It was always one of those weird halfway desserts to me.  Now that I have worked so hard to bread my sugar addiction, the halfway dessert gray area is where I occasionally satisfy my sweet tooth.

After searching online for a version that suited my needs, to no avail, I created this little monster.  Now I have to be careful not to overdose on this stuff.

4 over-ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil, softened or liquified (could also try substituting applesauce)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
dash nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Liquify coconut oil by placing container in warm water.  Mash bananas in mixing bowl.  Add egg, maple syrup, brown sugar, and oil.  Mix thoroughly.  Mix in remaining dry ingredients.  Spoon into 9x6 bread pan.  Top with a tablespoon or so of brown sugar.

Bake for approx 45-50 min or until knife inserted comes out moist, but clean.
