ROASTED BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Place the bananas on a cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, or until the skins are black and they have started to seep. Remove from the oven , set aside, and let cool.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time, stirring after each.
• Squeeze the flesh of the bananas out of the skins and into a small mixing bowl. Add the coconut milk and vanilla and mash together.
• Add half of the banana mixture to the butter mixture and blend thoroughly. Add half of the flour mixture and mix until combined.
• Add the remaining banana mixture, blend thoroughly, and add the remaining flour mixture; mix just enough to thoroughly blend the ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
• Bake in the oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack, slice, and serve warm.
