How to Make Toasted Coconut Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small skillet, toast ½ cup shredded coconut over medium heat until lightly golden brown. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Let cool slightly.
  6. Gently fold the toasted coconut into the batter.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, wrap and store overnight to allow flavors to meld. Slice and enjoy!
