Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)
• 0.75 cups shredded sweetened coconut, toasted
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Sprinkle in the toasted coconut and gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 7

Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These biscuits are delicious on their own or topped with a little butter or honey.
