    Chocolate Chip Coconut Banana Bread

    This Chocolate Chip Coconut Banana Bread recipe is a delicious variation on the classic simple banana bread. We love the little pockets of chocolate, and the shreds of slight sweetness from the coconut.
    A twist on the traditional banana bread recipe. Chocolate Chip Coconut Banana Bread recipe.

    While the work piles up, and time off is non-existent, staying sane for me happens with the little things, like this Chocolate Chip Coconut Banana Bread. Here are some of my other little things:

    1. Do something that makes you feel pretty. Pluck those eyebrows or braid your hair, or wear some neat jewelry.

    2. If you have a spare moment, Google pictures of somewhere you want to go. My latest go to Google image search is camping in a tee pee.

    3. Draw doodles. My favorite doodle is looking at someone, drawing his or her face without looking at the paper or lifting up the pen.

    4. Think about how much cooler life is going to be once Downton Abbey returns.

    5. Take baths. They are awesome and relaxing and I don’t think most people do it enough.

    Ok you guys. We have some crazy delicious chocolate chip coconut banana bread for you today. We made it in these mini loaf pans but you can also make it full size.  Throughout the week we will be posting two more recipes that utilize banana bread in other crazy amazing combinations. So keep a look out! We hope you love them! If you love this recipe, you’ll also love our Chai Banana Cake!

      Hi there! My sister and I have made this recipe so many (easily 10+) times over the last several years – and it is absolutely delicious every time. We love the toasted coconut and the chocolate chip add-ins. Thank you for the recipe. I tried the recipe out today with white-wheat flour, coconut oil and canola oil because of lactose intolerance, as well as brown sugar/honey instead of sugar (I ran out). It’s good – a little less sweet, but still tasty!

      On a personal note, thank you for thriving as an Asian-American blogger! I’m inspired every time I see women of color, especially those whose family of origin may have immigrated from Asia, doing big things.

      Just made this and it is absolutely delicious! Only snag I ran into was it overflowed the 9inch loaf pan I use. Not sure if I made a mistake somewhere but I think next time I will
      split the batter into two loaf pans.
      Amazing recipe, thanks so much for sharing!!

      I made mini-muffins with this and they turned out great! I made a few changes to the recipe: I replaced half of the butter with apple sauce, and part of the sugar with maple syrup. I also used “white whole wheat” flour, so i had to add an extra half cup of milk and used a tiny bit more baking powder and baking soda. I baked them for 15 minutes :)

        Just remember to fill them only about 1/2 way bc they rise quite a bit. I’m not sure about the bake time, but my guess is 30-40 min. I would still check them while baking to make sure. Good luck!
