SOUTHERN LIVING'S TOASTED COCONUT CREAM CHEESE BANANA NUT BREAD



Southern Living's Toasted Coconut Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread image

This was published in Southern Living's Feb 2008 edition. It is a re-make of the original recipe contributed by Willie Monroe from Homewood, Alabama. This version cuts down some of the fat intake and still remains pretty good. Make sure you bake this in TWO 8X4 loaf pans. If you put this in one 10X4 loaf pan it wil be too much batter and will not bake through properly.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Choose fresh nuts, high-quality cream cheese, and pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter and create a light and airy bread.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the nuts and cream cheese: Be gentle when folding in the nuts and cream cheese to avoid overmixing the batter.
  • Bake the bread at 350°F for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Keep an eye on the bread while it is baking and cover it with foil if it starts to brown too quickly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
