Making Banana Bread with Coconut Sugar is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to create your delicious loaf:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Make sure to leave some small lumps for texture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then add the flour. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Optional Add-ins: If desired, fold in nuts or chocolate chips to enhance the flavor.
- Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Your Banana Bread with Coconut Sugar is now ready to be enjoyed!
