Equipment
- 9×5-inch loaf pan
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Spatula
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat The Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Prepare Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet And Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over mix, as this can result in a dense loaf.
Add Coconut And Nuts
- Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake The Bread
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool And Serve
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
