    Coconut Banana Bread

    This Coconut Banana Bread is not your typical Banana Bread. Usually, Banana Bread is sweet and cake-like in texture.

    This particular recipe is more like a bread loaf but not terribly sweet with just a hint of banana and coconut. But I think it's ok that it's not like every other banana bread recipe out there. I feel that experimentation in the kitchen is a must!

    🍌 How to pick the right bananas

    The best bananas for banana bread are when they are overripe, not yellow but black. Or they're at least streaked with black/brown. The darker the better. If you can't find overripe bananas, you can speed up the process by putting the bananas in a paper bag along with an apple and loosely fold down the top. The bananas should ripen in just a day or two using this method.

    🍌 How many Bananas

    On average, 1 banana will yield about Β½ cup mashed. So you will need approximately 3 ripe bananas for this recipe.
