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.

HAWAIIAN COCONUT-BANANA BREAD



Hawaiian Coconut-Banana Bread image

I am a connoisseur of banana bread. I grew up on my grandmother's which I am pretty sure came out of the classic Better Homes and Gardens® cookbook. I met a wonderful Hawaiian lady named Nalani at an event here in Maui. She was selling her banana bread. After taking the first bite I knew this was something special. She was so happy with how much I loved her banana bread she happily shared the recipe. Best served warm and fresh from the oven. Aloha!

SOUTHERN LIVING'S TOASTED COCONUT CREAM CHEESE BANANA NUT BREAD



Southern Living's Toasted Coconut Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread image

This was published in Southern Living's Feb 2008 edition. It is a re-make of the original recipe contributed by Willie Monroe from Homewood, Alabama. This version cuts down some of the fat intake and still remains pretty good. Make sure you bake this in TWO 8X4 loaf pans. If you put this in one 10X4 loaf pan it wil be too much batter and will not bake through properly.

Banana Bread with Coconut and Pecans image

Banana bread is at its best when it is just sweet enough--but not too sweet; its banana flavor rings clear and true--but is not overly aggressive; and you love it any time of day. It is remarkable how like a good friend banana bread can be.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 cup coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter, then coat with flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs; add the bananas, buttermilk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt by hand with a rubber spatula. (You don't want to over-beat the batter or the bread will be tough.)

BANANA COCONUT TEA BREAD



Banana Coconut Tea Bread image

I found this recipe in my old Sunset Cook Book of Breads, Twelfth Printing 1973. Toasted coconut enhances this easy-to-make banana tea bread. The flavors really intensify after 3 to 4 days of mellowing. Keep it tightly wrapped to preserve its moisture content. I usually double this recipe to compensate for the wait. Enjoy!
