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.

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cream white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in banana, sour cream, and vanilla.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl; gently stir into wet mixture just until combined.
Toss together chocolate chips, coconut, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Fold about 2/3 of the mixture into the batter, then pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chip mixture.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
