My hubby LOVES bananas, he eats one pretty much every day. But he likes them only when they are still greenish. I like them when they are all nice yellow. We both hate them extra ripe, so when we have a few I always try to make something good out of them — like muffins or banana bread. This time I made banana bread and added some coconut for extra texture and flavor... and also just because i can! I found this recipe online, changed a few things and wrote it down on a piece of paper. Today i can't find the original, so here is my version. I really think is one of the best ones i've made, it's SUPER moist and easy. With a nice cup of coffee is heaven.INGREDIENTS::
_ 1 2/3 cup of flour (I used 1 whole wheat and 2/3 regular)
_ 1 tsp baking soda
_ 1/4 tsp cinnamon
_ 1/4 tsp salt
_ 2/3 cup sugar
_ 2 eggs
_ 1/2 cup melted butter
_ 3 bananas (smashed)
_ 2 tbsp yogurt
_ 1 tsp vanilla extract
_ 1/2 cup walnuts
_ 1/2 cup coconut (optional)
DIRECTIONS::
_ Preheat oven to 350ยบ
_ Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon & salt. Set aside.
_ Beat sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. About 8 minutes. Add the butter and mix.
_ Add the bananas, the yogurt and the vanilla.
_ Fold dry ingredients. Add the nuts and coconut if using (you can also add some chocolate chips!)
_ Cook for 45 to 1hr
After you make this you'll repeat after me: "I'll NEVER throw away bananas ever again" :)

Carla - try this next time - instead of melting your butter, leave it out till its room temp (just soft enough for your blender to deal with it) Then beat the butter & sugar for 3 minutes. Mix in the flour combo till it has the consistency of brown sugar. Then mix in your egg.
Your bread will be light and fluffy and even more amazing! :)
