HAWAIIAN COCONUT-BANANA BREAD
I am a connoisseur of banana bread. I grew up on my grandmother's which I am pretty sure came out of the classic Better Homes and Gardens® cookbook. I met a wonderful Hawaiian lady named Nalani at an event here in Maui. She was selling her banana bread. After taking the first bite I knew this was something special. She was so happy with how much I loved her banana bread she happily shared the recipe. Best served warm and fresh from the oven. Aloha!

SOUTHERN LIVING'S TOASTED COCONUT CREAM CHEESE BANANA NUT BREAD
This was published in Southern Living's Feb 2008 edition. It is a re-make of the original recipe contributed by Willie Monroe from Homewood, Alabama. This version cuts down some of the fat intake and still remains pretty good. Make sure you bake this in TWO 8X4 loaf pans. If you put this in one 10X4 loaf pan it wil be too much batter and will not bake through properly.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA WALNUT BREAD WITH COCONUT OIL
I altered the Starbucks banana bread recipe to include my favorite substitutions and made it extra "banana-y". The whole wheat flour makes it healthier, the agave lowers the glycemic index, and the coconut oil and extra banana helps this "healthy" version taste better.

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.

WHOLE GRAIN BANANA COCONUT BREAD
While this site already has numerous recipes for banana bread with a coconut theme, this one is unique in its emphasis on a whole grain flour base. The coconut flavor is subtle-- if you like a strong coconut flavor, up the amount of coconut extract, and include the optional fresh coconut. As with many of my recipes, this one calls for ingredients that are "nonstandard" (i.e., weird!...the province of health nut fanatics!), but go out on a limb and try it--your taste buds won't be disappointed.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease 2 8x4 loaf pans or 1 9x5 loaf pan; I use cooking spray with no sticking problems; I used 2 8x4 loaf pans, and the resulting loaves were on the short side.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, oat bran, soy powder, flax seeds, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the pecans (and optional coconut) to the dry mixture and stir to incorporate; set aside.
- In the bowl of your food processor fitted with the steel blade, place the Splenda, brown sugar, honey or barley malt syrup, butter, both kinds of lecithin, and xanthan gum; Puree together for about 2 minutes (this will help the lecithin and xanthan bind it all together).
- Add the banana, coconut milk, egg whites, and vanilla and coconut extracts to the food processor bowl, and puree again until well-blended; shake the can of coconut milk prior to opening it up so that the contents wont be separated when you measure.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and use a rubber spatula to fold it all together; be careful not to overmix the batter or the finished product will be tough as a result of activating the gluten.
- Pour even amounts of batter into the loaf pan (s), and place in the preheated moderate oven.
- Bake until internal temperature reaches 185 degrees Fahrenheit; this took 36 minutes for 2 8x4 loaves in my oven today but will take longer in a 9x5" pan; look for a firm, lightly brown top and look for the sides to pull away from the pan (s).
- Chef notes: If you want to use your whole 14-oz can of coconut milk, triple this recipe (that's a lot o' banana bread--yay!); Also, if you want to eliminate the 1/4 cup of butter, just add an extra 1/4 cup of banana; the coconut milk, soy powder, lecithin, and flax seeds all have significant amounts of healthy fats in them so you should still end up with a moist tender bread; I havent tried that yet, so if you do, please inform us of the outcome in your review!

BANANA COCONUT TEA BREAD
I found this recipe in my old Sunset Cook Book of Breads, Twelfth Printing 1973. Toasted coconut enhances this easy-to-make banana tea bread. The flavors really intensify after 3 to 4 days of mellowing. Keep it tightly wrapped to preserve its moisture content. I usually double this recipe to compensate for the wait. Enjoy!
