Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups / 12 oz / 340 g mashed, RIPE bananas (~3 bananas)
1/3 cup / 80 ml melted coconut oil (or melted butter)
3/4 cup / 4.5 oz / 125 g dark muscovado or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup / 60 ml full-fat coconut milk (or yogurt, or sour cream)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup / 4.5 oz / 125g all-purpose flour
1 cup / 5 oz / 140g whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and place a rack in the center. Oil a 9-by 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan, or equivalent.
2. Place the mashed bananas in a large bowl. Stir in the coconut oil, and then the brown sugar and coconut milk. Add the eggs and vanilla, and stir until well combined. Add the flours, baking soda, and salt (sprinkling the baking soda and salt across the surface of the batter), and mix just until the batter combines, avoid over-mixing.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn the loaf out of the pan to cool completely. Slice, and enjoy!
Serves 10.
This easily lends itself to banana muffins. Pour the batter into a prepared muffin pan and bake for 15-20 minutes. The muffins will be done when you can poke a muffin in the middle with a toothpick and the toothpick comes out clean.
