Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Use a fork or a potato masher to thoroughly mash the bananas until they reach a smooth consistency.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
- Crack in the eggs and whisk the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Stir in the brown sugar until it is fully dissolved and integrated into the wet mixture.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour, dried coconut meat, and cinnamon to the bowl.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve your delightful whole banana bread as a snack or breakfast treat. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are key to a moist and flavorful banana bread. The riper, the better. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots.
- Room temperature ingredients: Make sure your eggs, butter, and milk are at room temperature before you start. This helps the ingredients combine more easily and evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in a dense and heavy bread.
- Cool completely before slicing: Let the banana bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the flavors to meld and makes for easier, cleaner slicing.
- Customize with add-ins: Feel free to add in extras like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits to make the banana bread your own.
Enjoy your homemade whole banana bread as a delightful snack or a satisfying breakfast. Serve it warm with a pat of butter or simply on its own. Once you've tried this recipe, it will surely become a staple in your baking repertoire!
