Equipment
- 1 Large Baking Pan or Loaf Pan
- 1 Small Mixing Bowl
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Stand or Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 4 large ripe mashed bananas
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- few extra walnuts for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. This ensures that the leavening agents and sugar are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, eggs, and coconut milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine and Fold Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Add the Walnuts Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour and Top Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle a handful of extra chopped walnuts on top for a crunchy finish.
- Bake to Perfection Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and your kitchen will smell heavenly.
- Cool and Enjoy Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve with a pat of butter or enjoy it as is.
