Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Breads

Time 1h30m

Yield One {9 x 5-inch|23 x 12.5-cm} loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

1¾ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup very ripe bananas, mashed with a fork until smooth (from about 3 bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
½ cup pecans, toasted and chopped (see note below)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the melted butter and sugar until just combined. Beat in the eggs, bananas and vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not over-mix. Gently stir in the coconut and nuts (the batter will look lumpy).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center is relatively clean (tester should not be totally dry; the bananas keep it moist) and the top is golden brown. Do not overcook. Let the loaf cool in the pan for about ten minutes, then turn out onto rack. Slice while still warm or store in an airtight container. Toast individual slices for best results.
  • Note: Toasting the pecans is optional but enhances their flavor. Simply spread the pecans on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

HAWAIIAN COCONUT-BANANA BREAD



Hawaiian Coconut-Banana Bread image

I am a connoisseur of banana bread. I grew up on my grandmother's which I am pretty sure came out of the classic Better Homes and Gardens® cookbook. I met a wonderful Hawaiian lady named Nalani at an event here in Maui. She was selling her banana bread. After taking the first bite I knew this was something special. She was so happy with how much I loved her banana bread she happily shared the recipe. Best served warm and fresh from the oven. Aloha!

BANANA COCONUT TEA BREAD



Banana Coconut Tea Bread image

I found this recipe in my old Sunset Cook Book of Breads, Twelfth Printing 1973. Toasted coconut enhances this easy-to-make banana tea bread. The flavors really intensify after 3 to 4 days of mellowing. Keep it tightly wrapped to preserve its moisture content. I usually double this recipe to compensate for the wait. Enjoy!
