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:

To measure coconut flour accurately, spoon it into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher.
To prevent the bread from sticking to the loaf pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
