Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 pieces overripe bananas peeled
  • 1.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter softened
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flake
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Grease your loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth.
  4. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the mashed bananas to the butter mixture, stirring until combined. Then, sift in the self-rising flour and fold gently.
  7. Fold in the unsweetened coconut flakes, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
