Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Combine the mashed bananas with vegetable or coconut oil and soft light brown sugar, then add baking soda, baking powder, and plain white flour, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for approximately 30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  5. Cool the bread in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
