  5. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture.
  7. Mix in melted ghee or coconut oil.
  8. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
  9. Optional: take extra banana and carefully cut a think strip and place on the top of the loaf; gently pressing down into the dough with the palm of your hand.
