How to Make Taste of the Islands Banana bread

Step-by-Step

Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly grease pans (for ease spray with cooking spray). I made 6 miniature loaves and 24 mini muffins
You will need four bowls to prepare this recipe.
First bowl: combine coconut oil and sugars. Mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
Second bowl: Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Third bowl: Mash bananas (I use a potato masher or the mixer) and combine with the coconut milk.
Fourth bowl: Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the pecans and coconut.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan(s). The miniature loaves baked for 26 min. The mini muffins baked for 15 min. Allow to cool for 5 min. before turning out.
