14 servings
1 1/2 c Whole wheat flour, divided 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Coconut, unsweetened shredd. 1 c Mashed banana (3 small)
2 ts Baking powder 3 tb Vegetable oil
1/2 ts Baking soda 2 tb Liquid honey
Suggestion: reserve 1/4 cup flour. Low fat recipes have a tendency
to be too dry. Bake about 35 min in 9×5 loaf pan or muffin cups if
8×4 pan not available.
Mix together 1 1/4 c. of flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda
and salt in a bowl. Combine banana, oil and honey. Stir into flour
mixture quickly but gently until just combined. Add part of the
remaining 1/4 cup flour if needed. Batter will be lumpy.
Spread batter evenly in a lightly greased (and/or waxed paper lined)
8×4 loaf pan. Bake at 350 F about 45 min until tester inserted in
center comes out clean. Cool 10 min in pan. Turn out of pan, cool
completely on rack. Wrap in waxed paper and store overnight before
slicing.
