BANANA BREAD WITH COCONUT AND PECANS
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.

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.) Stir in the pecans and coconut and pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out dry, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes in the pan. Run a knife along the sides to loosen the loaf from the pan; invert to remove the bread and place it (bottom side down) on a wire rack to cool.
