CINNAMON-COCONUT-CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD



Cinnamon-Coconut-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread image

This is a riff on a super popular and delicious recipe from the site: Cathy's Banana Bread. This version incorporates other reviewers' suggestions to use a mix of white and brown sugar and to use butter instead of margarine. It also includes a little coconut and cinnamon. The coconut toasts nicely on top, adds great texture, and smells and tastes amazing with the banana and the chocolate.
