Grease a loaf pan (9” X 5”) using butter or oil (See notes if you are using coconut oil.)
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil and honey.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time until well mixed.
Add the mashed banana and milk. Whisk well.
Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until blended.
Using a large spoon, add the flour and stir until it is just combined. Some lumps are okay; don't overmix.
If using nuts or other add-ins, stir them into the dough.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with a light dusting of cinnamon.
Put in the oven and bake for 55 minutes. After 50 minutes, use the old toothpick method and when it’s clean, the bread is done. If you have add-ins, it may take the bread a little longer to cook, about 5 extra minutes.
When done, remove from the oven and set the bread, still in the pan, on a rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.
To remove from the pan, run a butter knife around the edges. This will loosen the bread if it is stuck to the sides of the pan. Gently remove it from the pan and place it on a cooling rack.
Notes
If you are using coconut oil, it may solidify as you add your ingredients. If so, just put your bowl somewhere warm for a few minutes to allow it to get soft again.
