Coconut Banana Bread
Description
Coconut Banana Bread features mashed very ripe bananas mixed with coconut flour and flakes, coconut sugar, beaten eggs, cinnamon, baking soda, and vanilla extract. The batter is spread into a parchment-lined loaf pan and baked at 350°F until the center is firm, typically 50-60 minutes. Using coconut flour gives a denser texture and distinctive coconut taste compared to wheat flour.
After baking, the loaf must cool completely to set properly, which improves slicing and flavor development. The crumb is moist but sturdy enough to hold shape, accented by the subtle chew of coconut flakes.
This bread works well for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, offering a flavorful option for those who enjoy coconut and banana together. Storing in the fridge extends freshness for up to four days, while freezing is an option for longer keeping.
