Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan (no smaller) and line with a strip of parchment if desired.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the sugar and oil. Add the eggs and beat on high speed, incorporating a lot of air into the mixture. Beat in the vanilla and almond extract.
Combine the mashed banana and coconut milk, then add to the batter alternately with the flour mixture.
Pour the batter to the prepared baking pan and bake for 60 to 75 minutes (mine took 70) or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Let cool for about half an hour, then remove from pan.
Notes
For the flour, weight out 11.5 oz/322 grams or really stir and aerate before measuring.
