Banana Coconut Bread

Ingredients:

2 cups all- purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup butter or margarine
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, or 175 degrees C.
Grease an 8 by 4-inch baking pan and dust with flour.
First, combine the dry ingredients, flour, salt and baking powder, and put aside.
In a big bowl, beat the sugar and butter together for 2-3 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and beat for 2 more minutes. Then, beat in vinegar, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Now, gradually add and mix the flour to the mixture with the help of a tablespoon spoon. In the end, stir in coconut.
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan. Even the surface of the mixture with the back of a spoon.
Place the pan in the middle of the rack of the oven and bake it for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a fork inserted in center comes out clean. After it bakes, bring out the pan, and cool it for 15 minutes. Then, take out the bread from the pan and cool it on the rack completely. You can serve it right away, or wrap, and store it in the fridge for later.

My Notes

• If you have baked the bread in advance, warm it up in the microwave, or oven the next morning and serve it with butter, cream cheese, honey, or your favorite jam for breakfast. The combination of banana and coconut makes the bread one of the best after school snack for children.
