Coconut Banana Bread

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

In a bowl using a wooden spoon, mix the oil and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, stir together the mashed banana and the coconut milk. Mix the bananas and coconut milk with the oil, egg and sugar mixture.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients. I added mine in thirds: pour 1/3 of the flour mixture in, stir until combined, add 1/3 of the flour mixture, stir, add remaining flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the flaked coconut.

Pour the batter into the sprayed loaf pan.

Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, when a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
