Ingredients
  

Banana Bread:
  • 3 medium ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice fresh, not bottled lies
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk coconut milk is fabulous here
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Topping:
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut
  • A dash of lime zest for flair

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment like the domestic goddess you are.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until beautifully broken.
  3. Stir in coconut oil, sugar, lime juice, zest, milk, and vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  5. Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t beat it like it owes you rent.
  6. Fold in shredded coconut like you mean it.
  7. Pour batter into loaf pan and smooth the top gently, like applying under-eye cream.
  8. Sprinkle extra coconut and lime zest on top if you're feeling fancy.
  9. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean-ish but not soggy.
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Slice, serve, and pretend you're in Bali.
