Toasted Coconut-Banana Bread image

Finely shredded coconut adds a sweet crunch to this moist, flavorful bread. I have recently learned to appreciate the great texture and flavor that toasted coconut lends to a recipe, and this is a great take on banana bread.

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 beaten eggs
1 cup mashed ripe banana (2 to 3 medium bananas)
1/3 cup cooking oil
2 tablespoons milk

1 (3 1/2 ounce) can flaked coconut, toasted (1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Grease a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan; set aside. In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center. In a medium mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, mashed bananas, oil, milk, and vanilla; mix well. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir just till combined. (The batter should be lumpy.) Fold in toasted coconut.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
