Banana Coconut Bread

This Banana Coconut Bread recipe that I got from Kirbie's Cravings website has just become my new favourite banana coconut bread recipe.  I have tried some other recipes, but this one just keeps calling my name.  As I did not have 3 loaf pans, I decided to make one loaf and lots of mini loaves.  I was bit surprised that I enjoy the loaf much better than the mini loaf.  It was the moist inside that made all the difference.



I can't wait to try this recipe again!
