Banana Bread with Coconut Milk

I think my family sometimes lets the bananas go bad just so that they see what I can come up with. :) I like to try come up with different things and this time I wanted to experiment with coconut milk.  The flavors are amazing!  The bread is moist and very flavorful.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-1 cup sugar

-2 large eggs

-3 very ripe bananas

-1/2 cup coconut milk

-2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted

-2 Tbs applesauce

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-1/2 tsp salt

-1/2 tsp cardamom

-1 tsp cinnamon

-2 tsp baking powder

-2 1/2 cup flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Coat a 9x5 loaf pan with baking cooking spray (the one with butter and flour).  Set aside.

In your mixer's bowl, cream the sugar and eggs until nice and fluffy.  Add the bananas (I just tear them in big chunks) and mix well.  Stir in the coconut milk, melted butter, applesauce and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add the salt, cardamom, cinnamon, baking powder and flour, half of cup at a time.  Mix very well and pour in prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 70-80 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven and place, in the pan, on wire rack for 15 minutes.  Take the bread out of the pan and let it cool completely on wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
