Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Peel and mash the bananas in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Beat together using an electric mixer until creamy.
- Add the cream cheese and beat until fully incorporated.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until well-combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas until the batter is well mixed.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and shredded coconut meat evenly into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, slice and serve your delicious Coconut Banana Walnut Bread. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots.
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in a dense and tough bread.
- Fold in the walnuts and coconut: Gently fold in the walnuts and coconut meat to ensure even distribution without overworking the batter.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the bread is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes and check again.
- Let it cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
Your Coconut Banana Walnut Bread is now ready to enjoy! The combination of bananas, coconut, and walnuts creates a moist and flavorful loaf that's perfect for any time of the day. Whether you serve it warm with a bit of butter or enjoy a slice on its own, this bread is sure to become a favorite in your home. Happy baking!
