Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas the riper the better!
  • ¾ cup sweetened condensed coconut milk depending on preference
  • 2 cups self raising flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F and prepare a loaf pan with oil or parchment.
  • In a bowl, add the bananas and mash them with the back of a fork or a potato masher until completely pureed.
  • Now, pour in the sweetened condensed coconut milk. Stir until completely combined with the mashed banana.
  • Pour in the self raising flour. Using a spatula, stir until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix, or it can result in a glutenous loaf. The consistency will be thick, similar to pancake batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. I like to tap mine on the counter a bit so the top of the loaf disperses evenly for nicer-looking bread. You can also spread out the top with a spatula.
  • Place in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is browned and the loaf is cooked through. You can test it by inserting a toothpick and seeing if it comes out clean.
  • Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes in the pan before removing and slicing with a bread knife.

Notes

  • Add extra flavor with cinnamon, vanilla extract, walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips.
  • No self-rising flour? Use all-purpose flour with baking powder and a pinch of salt.
  • No loaf tin? Make muffins instead! Divide the batter into muffin tins and reduce the baking time.
  • Add a crunchy topping! Sprinkle the loaf with nuts, seeds, or a granola mixture before baking.
  • Make it gluten-free using oat flour and baking powder blend.
