Ingredients

Steps

01.

Preheat oven to 180 C. Grease a 14 cm x 21 cm loaf pan and line base and sides with baking paper, extending the paper 5 cm over sides.

02.

Sift flours into a large bowl. Stir in sugar, desiccated coconut and banana, then combined eggs, oil and essence until just combined. Spread mixture into pan. Sprinkle flaked coconut on top, pressing down lightly.

03.

Bake bread about 1 hour 20 mins. Stand bread in pan 10 mins, then turn, top-side up, onto a wire rack to cool.

You will need about four large overripe bananas for the amount of mashed banana required.
