Yield Makes 5 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 1/3 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 large)

3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted lightly and cooled

Steps:

  • Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with the sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy and beat in the vanilla, the eggs, 1 at at time, the zest, the banana, and the sour cream.

Divide the batter among 5 well-buttered and floured 5 3/4- by 3 1/4-inch loaf pans and bake the breads in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 loaves, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, soft
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest, freshly grated
1 1/3 cups bananas, ripe and mashed (about 3 large)
3 tablespoons sour cream
3/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugars.
  • Beat in vanilla, eggs (1 at a time), zest, banana, and sour cream.
  • Add flour mixture slowly and beat until it is just combined.
  • Stir in the macadamia nuts and coconut.
  • Pour batter into a greased (I use butter and a little flour) 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
  • Bake in center of preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minute or until tester comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas that are yellow with brown spots.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your banana bread will be. Use fresh, high-quality bananas, butter, and flour.
  • Don't skimp on the nuts: The coconut and macadamia nuts add a delicious flavor and texture to this banana bread. Be sure to use plenty of them.
  • Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your banana bread is baked through. Baking it for too long results in a dry and tough bread.

Conclusion:

This coconut and macadamia nut banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With its moist and flavorful crumb and crunchy topping, this banana bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
