Banana Coconut Loaf (Vegan, Nut-Free, Soy-Free) PDF Print E-mail

Taking a chance, I decided to attempt veganizing my favorite banana bread recipe.  While it was already dairy-free, eggs and honey were still key components.  Amazingly, I succeeded!  Yet, my hearty Banana Whole Wheat Bread did transform into a slightly more indulgent Banana Coconut Loaf (recipe on One Frugal Foodie) ...

Banana Coconut Loaf

  • 2 cups flour (whole wheat, white whole wheat - for a lighter bread) or all-purpose)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup oil (I used coconut)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (may use honey for non-vegan or agave nectar)
  • 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)

Preheat oven to 350º and lightly grease a loaf pan (I used a 9 x5, though a smaller one will likely create a taller bread)

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut (see notes below) in a large bowl.  Set aside.  In a small bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.  Mash up those bananas, and add them to the small bowl of liquids.  Going back to the large flour bowl, make a well in the dry mixture and pour your liquid mixture in.  Gently fold the batter until everything is well combined, but be careful not to overmix.  A few lumps are okay.

Spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pan.  It is a bit thick, so you may have to coax it into place a bit.  Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Notes: For the quick bread pictured, I used white whole wheat flour (King Arthur brand) since I was out of whole wheat bread flour.  I also whizzed 3/4 of the coconut (6 Tablespoons) in my spice grinder for a few quick whirls.  I wanted to have a denser loaf with more of an infused coconut taste, which it seemed to do.  The remaining 2 Tablespoons I threw in as is, in shredded fashion.
