Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 stick of softened butter
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 2 large or 3 small very ripe bananas (smashed)
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350-degrees and grease and flour a 9X5 loaf pan.
- Add the coconut to a large non-stick skillet and toast over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cream together the sugar and butter.
- Beat in the eggs. Mix in the smashed bananas and applesauce.
- In another bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients, then slowly add it to the wet ingredients.
- Fold in the coconut and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325-degrees and bake another 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, before turning out onto a cooling rack.
- Leftovers, if there are any, will keep best in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator.
- Note, I used my Long Loaf Pans which I adore. The bread doesn't need to cook for quite as long, and the slices are just right for my little ones!
