A twist on the classic banana bread, replacing the traditional walnuts with coconut flakes and chocolate chips. I combined and tweaked several traditional recipes to come up with this one. Some suggested additions or substitutions: white, dark, or milk chocolate chips instead of the semi sweet and/or adding chopped macadamia nuts. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful bread. The riper the bananas, the better the bread will be.
Mash the bananas well before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the bananas are evenly distributed throughout the bread.
Use a combination of white and brown sugar for a more complex flavor. Brown sugar will add a slight molasses flavor to the bread.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm and cozy flavor. Other spices, such as ginger or cloves, can also be used.
Stir in a cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy texture. Chocolate chips, dried fruit, or coconut can also be added.
Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
