Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pcs Overripe bananas
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 pcs Eggs
- 2 tbsp Coconut rum
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Optional: chocolate chips or chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, coconut rum, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut and optional add-ins like chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
