    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!

      Thanks for the wonderful recipe and photography, ladies! I’m going to freeze slices of your banana bread to spread out the joy. And I included your recipe in a roundup of 10 scratch meals that freeze well–a new way of thinking about “convenience foods.” http://finelycrafted.net/blog/10-diy-convenience-foods-for-the-freezer/

      I love banana bread with chocolate chips but I’ve never tried adding coconut – this looks fantastic and now I’m craving a slice of banana bread! I’m featuring this post in today’s Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution). I hope you have no objections and I can’t wait to see what you create next…

      And banana bread, with chocolate chips. In fact, you’ve inspired me to fit both in tonight!

      I just gotta say. I personally believe if it’s not on PBS it’s not worth watching. (At least 90% of the time.) And PBS is probably even better if you’re eating banana bread at the same time.

      Three of my favorite things! (Chocolate chips, coconut, and banana bread of course.)

      And yes, bath are highly underrated. I’m always miffed when people say they don’t like them!

      This looks like an amazing recipe, and it came at such a perfect time. I was hoping you could tell me whether or not the shredded coconut is sweetened or unsweetened. All we have is unsweetened, and I want to make sure I’m not changing the flavor too much.

        I used sweetened, but using unsweetened is just fine, really!

          Thanks! I went ahead and used unsweetened and it’s in the oven now. Though I didn’t have a bread loaf pan so I turned them into muffins instead. Yum!
