Eggless Banana Coconut Bread

Eggless banana coconut bread step-by-step recipe with photos.

An overripe banana is never thrown away in my kitchen. I use it to make either Mangalore bun or banana bread. I have earlier shared the recipe for banana bread. That version used eggs and it was pretty common in my kitchen, until recently. My sister-in-law who visited us a few weeks back doesn’t eat eggs. And I wanted to serve this as a breakfast so it keeps us full while we are busy being tourists along with them. So I tried this eggless version of banana coconut bread and it turned out excellent. Everyone loved it. The sweetness from bananas matched with the nuttiness of coconut is absolutely magical for your taste buds.

About this recipe

This easy cake-like bread is very easy to put together and tastes very different from a regular banana bread. It is moist like a cake, yet sturdy like a bread and can even be toasted.

Banana bread makes a perfect breakfast for busy weekdays. This moist, sweet, cake-like bread is great as a teatime snack too. A slice of warm banana coconut bread smeared with some butter is absolutely oh-so-good!
