Preparation

Step 1

Cream together the coconut oil and sugar. Add the mashed bananas and the beaten eggs. Sift your dry ingredients together separately (not including the nuts)then stir them together with everything else. Mix just until the flour is fully moistened. Fold in the nuts. Pour into a well greased (use coconut oil) loaf pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 to 1.15 hours or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean. Cool before slicing. Freezes well and is terrific toasted.
