Preheat oven to 350.

Grease standard-sized loaf pan (I love this kind) with fat of choice.

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to mash the bananas.

Add the eggs, vanilla, oil, and maple syrup and mix on high until combined well. It's ok if the bananas are a little lumpy.

Add the flours, baking soda, and salt, and combine once more until smooth.

Add nuts or chocolate chips, if desired, and stir by hand to disperse.

Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Cool before slicing and serving warm with butter or ghee.
