Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup coconut flakes (packed)
  • milk (enough to cover coconut flakes)

Instruction

  • Place coconut flakes in a measuring cup and add enough milk to cover the flakes. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. (Milk will be squeezed out. You can drink coconut milk or use it in pancakes or cereal.)
  • Preheat oven to 350° and grease an 8x4 bread baking dish.
  • Mash bananas with a fork in a large mixing bowl. 
  • Whisk in eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until all mixed.
  • Add flour, baking soda, and salt and gently whisk until the batter is smooth and everything is evenly combined.
  • Squeeze milk out of coconut flakes and add flakes to the batter. Fold them in. 
  • Transfer batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 55-60 minutes. If the top of bread is browning too fast, loosely cover with aluminum foil to keep direct heat away.
  • Take bread out and let it cool before cutting. Use serrated bread knife to slice the bread.
