Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper and pan with oil spray or coconut oil. Set aside.
Peel and mash the ripe bananas with a fork on a chopping board. Mash until creamy and smooth, with barely any lumps. Pack into the measuring cups, 1 to measure the amount required by the recipe.
Place the mashed banana in a large mixing bowl with melted coconut oil and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
In another bowl, stir white spelt flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until the batter is thick and consistent.
If you like, add slices of a yellow banana on top of the batter to decorate the bread and add sweetness.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake in the center rack of the oven until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean - about 50 to 55 minutes. You can add a piece of foil on top of the pan after 30 minutes to prevent the banana bread from browning too fast.
Cool down on a wire rack for 2 hours before slicing.
Storage
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container. It can be frozen and thaw the day before at room temperature.
Note 1: Equivalent to 4 large ripe bananas, black spots on the skin.Note 2: You can also use light olive oil, canola oil, or any oil you like in baking.Note 3: I don't recommend using entirely whole-spelt flour. The banana bread comes out dense. You can try half white spelt and half whole spelt flour.
