Servings: persons

3 medium ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
2 tablespoons poppy seeds for topping (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a loaf pan with natural cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, mash the bananas together. Mix in the eggs, sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
3
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Add in the salt, and mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
4
Fold in the carrots and coconut, but don't over-stir. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and sprinkle poppy seeds on top if you like.
5
Bake the bread for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out quite clean. It's fine if a few crumbs are stuck to the toothpick.
6
Let the bread cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing it. I know it is tempting to want to scarf this down immediately, but the bread tends to be very crumbly when I slice into it while it's still hot. Let it cool down first!
7
Store leftovers in room temperature for a few days. After that, store it in the refrigerator.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
