Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas not only add natural sweetness to the bread but also enhance its texture, making it moist and tender.
- Toast the coconut: Toasting coconut enhances its flavor and aroma. Spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, avoiding overdevelopment of the gluten in the flour.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with wet batter attached, bake for a few more minutes and check again.
