Coconut Banana Bread

Aug 12 2015 Liz Call

I have been on a serious coconut kick lately!  I just can’t seem to get enough of it.  Especially toasted coconut.  The other day I had some very ripe bananas on my counter.  They were either going in the trash or into something yummy.  I decided to combine my latest kick (coconut) with the ripe bananas and made up a couple loaves of the most delicious coconut banana bread.

I think this bread turned out so good because the banana bread recipe I have is already so good.  And the addition of coconut just adds to it’s already moist consistency .

But then to go and top it off with a coconut glaze and toasted coconut!  It makes this over the top GOOD!

If you’ve never had toasted coconut or don’t know how to make it, don’t worry.  A few weeks ago I shared just how easy it is to toast coconut.  And if you like regular coconut, I’m sure you will love toasted coconut.

I like using the smaller loaf pans so I can share them with our friends and neighbors.  Plus when I eat smaller slices, I think it’s ok to eat more! 🙂

This bread is not just for breakfast.  It would be a great addition to any brunch or dessert.

Happy Baking!

One of my most favorite recipes is this chocolate chunk pecan banana bread.
