Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best results.
- Feel free to replace melted coconut oil with vegetable oil or melted butter.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used.
- Both light brown sugar and coconut sugar work well. I actually prefer the version with coconut sugar.
- The banana bread batter will be somewhat thick.
- Do not bake too long. Once a toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs, remove from oven.
- Allow bread to fully cool before slicing.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
