Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup bananas mashed (about 2-3 ripe bananas)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
- Grease your 9x5-inch loaf pan with canola oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the canola oil and granulated sugar. Whisk until blended. Add the beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the mashed bananas and coconut milk into the wet mixture until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the shredded coconut gently into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Watch closely towards the end to prevent overbaking.
- Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
