HAWAIIAN COCONUT-BANANA BREAD



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!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger will give your bread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but use half the amount.
  • Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut will bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Coconut ginger banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The combination of coconut, ginger, and banana flavors is unique and irresistible. This bread is also a great way to use up overripe bananas. So next time you have some bananas that are about to go bad, don't throw them away! Make coconut ginger banana bread instead.
