Banana Pecan And Coconut Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter, then coat with flour, shaking off the excess.
• Use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs; add the bananas, buttermilk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt by hand with a rubber spatula. (You don't want to over-beat the batter or the bread will be tough.) Stir in the pecans and coconut and pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out dry, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes in the pan. Run a knife along the sides to loosen the loaf from the pan; invert to remove the bread and place it (bottom side down) on a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven at 185C or 325°F. Grease two small loaf pans or one regular size.
• 2. In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, chia seeds, desiccated coconut and salt.
• 3. In a separate which can be the bowl of an electric mixer, mix the sugar and the 4 eggs. Beat until it becomes a light and fluffy mixture. This should be done at a medium speed for about 4-5 minutes.
• 4. While still mixing, add the oil little by little or pouring it in continuously until all is in.
• 5. Add the mashed bananas and mix at low speed for 30 seconds, just enough to incorporate these.
• 6. Using a spatula, fold in the flour mixture gently. Add the chopped and toasted pecans.
• 7. Pour the batter into the already prepared loaf pans. Peel one banana and cut into two lengthwise. Add on top.
• 8. Bake for about 40 minutes or so until golden brown. Use a wooden skewer to make sure it's done.
• 9. When ready, take out of the oven. Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes and then take out and cool completely, ideally this should be done on a wire rack.
• 10. Can be served warm or cold with a nice dollop of creme fraîche, ice cream or a nice Greek yoghurt. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture. Fold in pecans., Transfer batter to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack., In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and pineapple. Serve with bread.

Steps:

• Mix together flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chopped walnuts, and cherries.
• Break eggs in a mixing bowl, and beat until light and frothy. Add sugar and melted butter or margarine. Beat well. Stir in mashed banana and flavoring. Add flour mixture, and stir just to combine. Spoon into greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes, and remove from pan. Cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
• Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
• Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb/900g loaf tin with a long strip of baking parchment. To make the loaf cake batter, beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Add the bananas in a few chunks and beat in with the eggs, flour, almonds, baking powder and milk until smooth - the whisk will mash the bananas. Stir in the pecans, then scrape into the tin. Bake for 45-50 mins until golden, risen and a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool in the tin, then lift out.
• Beat the butter, icing sugar and vanilla. Spread on top of the cooled cake and scatter with more chopped pecans

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in mashed bananas.
