Ingredients
1 1/2CupsMashed Bananas- 345 grams - Use RIPE bananas for best results
2Eggs(large)
1/2CupVegetable Oil- 115 milliliters - Use a neutral flavored oil such as canola oil or corn oil
2TablespoonsFlaked Coconut- 12 grams -Optional - Sprinkle flakes on top of the batter in the bread ban just before baking
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease the bread pan (if necessary).
Lightly beat the eggs.
Add mashed bananas, eggs and oil into a large mixing bowl. Stir with a large spoon until mixed thoroughly.
Add the flaked coconuts to the bowl. Stir until fully mixed. FYI - Adding the coconuts before the sugar & flour helps to moisten the coconut flakes.
Add the white sugar and light brown sugar to the mixing bowl. Stir until fully mixed.
Mix in the remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
Optional - After pouring & smoothing the batter in the bread pan, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flaked coconut on top of the batter.
Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes.
Take out of the oven and let the coconut banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
After 10 minutes, remove the coconut banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
