Ingredients:

  • 2 cup flour (we used king arthur, unbleached)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4-1 cup nuts ( we use pecans)
  • 2-2.5 cup coconut (we have used both sweetened and unsweetened )

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Spread coconut and nuts on tray and place in oven to toast - this takes 10-15 minutes in my oven - make sure you keep and eye on the coconut as you don't want it to burn. Remove from oven when coconut is lightly toasted / light brown - cool while you finish mixing the batter. If you have slow cocnut, you can use the broiler on low to speed things up but YOU MUST keep a close eye on the toasting if you do...itcan get away from you in a hurry.
  3. Grease 9x5 bread pan or 12 hole muffin pan (or use liners)
  4. Combine flour, soda and salt in a bowl - set aside
  5. Cream butter and brown sugar, add eggs
  6. Stir mashed bananas into the wet mix (we use a potato masher for the banana mashing)
  7. Fold wet into the dry ingredients until all the dry is in incorporated into the wet - don't over mix - batter will be lumpy.
  8. Gently fold 3/4 of your total amount of toasted coconut and nuts into the mix - the reserve will be used as topping.
  9. Fill either your bread pan or muffin cups with batter (muffin cups filled 2/3 full)
  10. Sprinkle reserve coconut (and nuts if you have them) over the top of the batter in your pan / muffin tin
  11. Bake muffins 28-35 minutes, until a tooth pick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs (NOT stick wet batter)
  12. Bake bread 60-65 minutes or until toothpick comes out with moist crumbs
  13. Remove and cool on a rack - enjoy! (I know you will!)
