Ingredients
- 3 large over ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Next, prepare a loaf pan by lining the sides with parchment paper. Alternatively, if using a loaf pan with a design, like the one in the photos, generously coat the inside of the loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix together all of the ingredients except the coconut. There is no need for mixing the wet ingredients first or sifting the dry ingredients together. (I told you this was easy!)
- Once a batter has formed, add the coconut and fold into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the filled loaf pan 3 or 4 times on the counter top to remove air bubbles and to ensure the thick batter has settled into the loaf pan's corners.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, the loaf is done, if not, place the loaf back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.
Notes
Loaf makes 10 thick slices.
