How to make it
1
Coat a loaf pan with a light film of fat and flour.
2
Puree the bananas and lemon juice.
3
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4
Combine the sugar, banana purée, eggs, and oil in with an electric mixer, mix on medium speed with the paddle until blended. Scrape the bowl as needed.
5
Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Mix in the crushed Barras de Coco. Pour batter into the loaf pan and top with shredded coconut.
6
Bake at 350°F until the bread springs back when pressed and a tester inserted near the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
7
Cool the loaves in the pans for a few minutes, then unmold and transfer them to wire racks and cool completely.
