The only thing better than homemade banana bread is Coconut Pecan Banana Bread. Sweet coconut, chewy pecans, and moist bananas are combined in this delicious twist on everyone’s favourite bread.
Coconut Pecan Banana Bread ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 medium bananas, smashed, about 1⅓ cups
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, plus 2 tablespoons reserved
- ⅔ cup chopped pecans
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a loaf pan very well with butter (or line with baking paper) and set aside. Combine the eggs, sugars, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the butter and sour cream and whisk again.
- Add the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt to the bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the smashed banana and stir again. Add 1 cup coconut and the pecans and stir once more to mix throughout.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Bake for 55-70 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
