This bread brings together the sweetness of bananas and the tropical flavor of coconut, creating a moist and delicious loaf that's perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a bit of butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose gluten-free flour, dried shredded coconut, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this.
- Add the olive oil, eggs, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Beat together until well blended.
- Gradually add the wet banana mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the bread remains tender.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve as desired. This bread pairs wonderfully with a touch of butter or a drizzle of honey.
Tips:
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.
- If you prefer less sweetness, consider reducing the amount of brown sugar or using a sugar substitute.
- Measure the flour accurately to maintain the correct texture. Too much flour can make the bread dense.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds together well.
- You can add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
