Coconut Banana Nut Bread
After baking my sour cream banana bread, I pretty much fell in love with the recipe. When I tried other banana bread variations, I used the sour cream banana bread as my base. I can be a bit stubborn about trying new things once I have a favorite. So while I've come across quite a few banana bread recipes, I haven't tested any of them out for fear that they won't measure up, and then I've wasted time and ingredients on a "not as good" banana bread.
However, when I saw the picture of Gonna Want Seconds' banana bread, I was tempted to give a new recipe a shot. The banana bread looked so delicious. Kathleen of Gonna Want Seconds thought her readers would be hooked by this recipe and she described a similar situation to mine: being very partial to one recipe. Plus I had some extra buttermilk that I needed to get rid of.
Like most quickbreads, this recipe was easy to put together. The result was delicious! Kathleen was right, I was hooked. The bread was just as moist and fluffy as when I use sour cream, and I couldn't taste the buttermilk. I loved the addition of coconut flakes, which adds an extra chewy texture to the bread.
