Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth.

Step 3

Whisk in the melted coconut oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut milk, and stir until smooth.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the shredded coconut and, if desired, the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
