Hawaiian Coconut-Banana Bread image

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!

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups mashed overripe bananas
1 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, softened at room temperature
½ cup coconut milk
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 metal or glass 9x5-inch loaf pans or use ungreased silicone pans.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The bread was dry and lacked flavor. I think I'll stick to my old banana bread recipe.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried many coconut banana bread recipes, but this one is by far the best! The addition of coconut milk and toasted coconut flakes gave it an extra layer of flavor and richness. It was a perfect balance of sweetness and moisture.
