How To Make taste of the islands banana bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly grease pans (for ease spray with cooking spray). I made 6 miniature loaves and 24 mini muffins
  • Step 2
    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.
  • Step 3
    Second bowl: Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Step 4
    Third bowl: Mash bananas (I use a potato masher or the mixer) and combine with the coconut milk.
  • Step 5
    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.
  • Step 6
    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.
