Method
 

Step 1: Prep the loaf pan
  1. Line a loaf pan with paper or grease it with a light coat of coconut oil.
Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients
  1. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until soft. Add white sugar, brown sugar, coconut oil, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla. Stir until the mixture looks steady.
Step 3: Combine dry ingredients
  1. In another bowl, mix flour, coconut flakes, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 4: Bring the batter together
  1. Add the dry mix to the wet bowl. Fold with a spatula. Don’t over-mix.
  2. If you want a blueberry bread-style twist, fold in blueberries now.
Step 5: Add optional extras
  1. Add pecan, coconut flour, banana mix, or anything you enjoy. Keep the batter steady and thick.
Step 6: Bake
  1. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 55–60 minutes.
  2. Check with a toothpick. If it comes out with small crumbs, the loaf is ready.
Step 7: Cool and slice
  1. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes. Slice gently. You’ll notice the loaf keeps a moist banana texture.
