Plantain and Coconut Bread

Cream together the butter and sugar. I like to use a stand mixer for this but you can also do it by hand (or with a hand mixer).

Add the eggs, mashed plantains, shredded coconut and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar and mix to incorporate.

In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Then add this dry mixture to the wet one and stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.

Pour batter into greased bread pan and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and when you place a toothpick through the middle it emerges clean. Then remove from the oven and move to a cooling rack for about 20 minutes before slicing!
