Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Add the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined—do not overmix.
-
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
-
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
