Name: Sweet banana-coconut bread
Foodie:Gen
Are you one of those weirdos (like me) who can only enjoy a banana when it is not ripe? Well, if you are, then you need a very special recipe to avoid throwing away those ripe, a.k.a way-to-sweet-to-late-to-eat bananas. And even if you do enjoy eating raw ripe bananas, this banana-coconut bread recipe will allow you to mix things up! While there are many little ingredients to include in this recipe, I can guarantee you that every single one of them is worth it as they will combine into a very unique taste you will not fail to appreciate! And if that is any indication of how good this fruity bread is, let me tell you this (in confidence): when I first came up with this recipe I was hoping to make the loaf last for at least 7 consecutive breakfasts. In the end it only lasted two days when I discovered how great it was upon waking up (breakfast), at tea time (10 a.m. and 4 p.m.), as a mid-day comforting snack (after lunch) and as a rewarding end-of-day dessert as well (after diner)…

Banana bread is one of my favorites and this coconut recipe sounds even better! Do you have any good dessert ideas to use the bread with too?
I would say make it “a la mode” with some ice cream, any flavor you like, but coconut and banana sound delish!
I have making simple banana breads lately and this seems super! Will give feedback when I get to it.
Please let us know. Enjoy!
