Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 to 1 1/2 cup mashed banana* (from 3 to 4 overripe bananas)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips/chunks (semisweet, milk, or a combo, plus additional for top (optional))
1 cup shredded coconut (plus additional for top (optional))

Steps:

  • Arrange an oven rack in the center position of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease an 8- by 4-inch loaf pan with softened butter, or generously coat with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the butter until creamy. Mix in the brown sugar and beat for 1 minute. Stir in the eggs, mashed banana, and vanilla until well blended (it's okay if it looks a little curdled at this point). Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and the shredded coconut.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips and/or coconut, if using, and lightly press into the surface (if stray pieces of coconut are sticking up, they will burn). Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the outside of the bread is dark and crunchy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (unless you stick it in a chocolate chip!).
  • Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve warm or at room temperature. Once completely cool, tightly wrap or cover any leftover banana bread and store it on the counter for up to a couple of days (and in the refrigerator after that).

CINNAMON-COCONUT-CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD



Cinnamon-Coconut-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread image

This is a riff on a super popular and delicious recipe from the site: Cathy's Banana Bread. This version incorporates other reviewers' suggestions to use a mix of white and brown sugar and to use butter instead of margarine. It also includes a little coconut and cinnamon. The coconut toasts nicely on top, adds great texture, and smells and tastes amazing with the banana and the chocolate.

Time 1h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Cream white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in banana, sour cream, and vanilla.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl; gently stir into wet mixture just until combined.
  • Toss together chocolate chips, coconut, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Fold about 2/3 of the mixture into the batter, then pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chip mixture.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: This will help to ensure that the bread is evenly moist and has a smooth texture.
  • Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour and coconut flour work well together to create a light and fluffy bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dry bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the bread from drying out.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This white chocolate, coconut, and banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and tropical flair, this bread is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special bread to bake, give this recipe a try.
