Dee's Yummy & Healthier Banana Bread image

My moms recipe for banana nut bread was very good but had both butter and shortening in it. I don't use shortening in my baking and always try to make my recipes healthier. While I still use butter (never margarine), I use 1/2 butter and half coconut oil most of the time in my baking. I find a mixture of sugars and of flours...
