Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- Spread the macadamia nuts on one rimmed baking sheet and the coconut on another. Toast, tossing occasionally, until the macadamia nuts and coconut are golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Let the nuts cool, then roughly chop.
- Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, macadamia nuts and coconut in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, yogurt and vanilla. Stir in the bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the dry mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 65 minutes to 75 minutes. Let the bread cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a rack.

TROPICAL BANANA BREAD-MUFFINS
This is actually a bread recipe baked in giant muffins. . . this solves the problem of an underbaked center and over baked exterior! Of course you can bake in a loaf pan, but be sure to adjust your time/temperature.

GLUTEN FREE TROPICAL BANANA BREAD
A moist and delicious banana bread for those unable to eat wheat gluten. It's a variation on GinnyP's recipe #57225, which was pretty good, but lacked any type of flour. The coconut flour I've added in this version adds a little more depth to the flavor, as well as consistency in the batter. As with all gluten free breads, it's best when fresh, but by tightly wrapping the bread as soon as it cools, it stayed moist for several days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Spray 9x4 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In large bowl, with a hand mixer, mash bananas. Add egg, brown sugar, oil, milk and vanilla. Mix well.
- In small bowl, sift together potato starch, cornstarch, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, coriander and salt. (Sifting will better distribute the baking powder to avoid areas of bitterness.).
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing as much as possible, to ensure a uniform top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool on wire rack for 5-10 minutes before removing from pan.
- Slice and enjoy immediately. Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas contain high amount of sugar, making your bread sweeter, and their higher starch content provides extra moisture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your bread tough.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins. Some popular options include chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, and spices.
- Top the bread with a glaze or drizzle of melted butter before serving for extra flavor.
- Toast the bread for a crispy exterior and a warm, fluffy interior.
Conclusion:
Tropical banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture and sweet, tropical flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some overripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
