Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
-
*I used 4 mini loaf pans, as you can see.
-
In the bowl using a wooden spoon mix the oil and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the mashed banana and the coconut milk.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the wet ingredients. Start and end with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Stir in the flaked coconut.
-
Pour the batter to the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake for 1 hour – 1 hour and 15 minutes, when a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

*Adjust time if you use mini loaf pans. Mine took about 45 minutes.
