Banana, Coconut & Cardamom Bread

Recipe Description

This Banana, Coconut & Cardamom Bread recipe is a delicious take on the traditional banana bread. Inspired by my travels in India where cardamom is a key ingredient, I like to add coconut oil and coconut flour to this banana cardamom bread to give it that extra burst of flavor.

This banana cardamom bread is so easy to make too. Start by melting coconut oil or butter. Mash bananas in a large bowl and add the melted oil, eggs, sugar and yogurt. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and pour in the banana mixture. Whisk well until you have a smooth batter. Transfer the bread to a loaf pan and bake in the oven for an hour and ten minutes. If a skewer inserted comes out with wet cake mixture, return the loaf pan to the oven for another 10 minutes and check again.

To make Banana, Coconut & Cardamom Bread, you will need the following ingredients:

Yummy bread recipe. I baked this banana bread with my husband last weekend. We had ripe bananas and added coconut, which reminded us of our beach vacation. The cardamom gave it a special flavor that we love. We'll make it again soon.
