Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Ingredients
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with oil.
Combine Dry Ingredients

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in melon seeds (and chocolate chips, if using).
Bake the Banana Bread
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles. Sprinkle additional melon seeds (or chocolate chips) on top, if desired.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Honey Banana Bread:
- For extra moist banana bread, use very ripe bananas – the riper, the sweeter!
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough bread. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
- For a deeper flavor, toast the flaxseed meal in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients.
- Experiment with different add-ins! Nuts, dried fruits, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can add delicious variations.

This looks divine! Can’t wait to make it.
I have made a banana cake previously but did not add melon seeds and flaxseeds. I will give this twist next time.
