Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Finely chop the coconut meat and set aside.
- In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add the melted coconut oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix well.
- Stir in the brown sugar, mashed bananas, and rum. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and ground ginger.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Fold in the finely chopped coconut meat until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, gently remove the banana bread from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.
- Slice the Coconut-Rum Banana Bread and enjoy!
- It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for longer shelf life.
Tips:
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with an equal amount of coconut or pineapple juice.
- Chop the coconut meat finely to distribute it evenly throughout the bread.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to avoid breaking.
- For an added crunch, consider sprinkling some shredded coconut or chopped nuts on top of the batter before baking.
Your Coconut-Rum Banana Bread is now ready to be enjoyed. The blend of coconut, banana, and rum flavors makes each bite a tropical delight. Serve it warm with a pat of butter, or enjoy it on its own. Whichever way you choose, this bread promises to transport your taste buds to a sunny paradise.
