Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the brown sugar, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until all the wet ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dried coconut meat gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Baking times may vary, so start checking at the 50-minute mark.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Banana Ripeness: Make sure your bananas are very ripe. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Measuring Flour: To ensure accurate measurement, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Do not pack the flour into the cup.
- Mixing Batter: Avoid over-mixing the batter to keep the bread light and tender. Mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Coconut Options: You can use sweetened or unsweetened dried coconut meat depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Additional Flavors: Feel free to add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for an extra twist.
- Cool Completely: Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and the best texture.
