Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 210 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 100 grams shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
• 75 grams walnuts or pecans, chopped
• 75 grams chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional, if batter is too thick)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch (23x13cm) loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. If the batter feels too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk to adjust the consistency.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Let the banana coconut loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Slice and serve on its own, with butter, or alongside a hot beverage. Enjoy your Loaded Banana Coconut Loaf!
