How to Make Coconut Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, mini-loaf pans, or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and stir them into the batter along with 1 cup plain yogurt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (plus more for topping, optional). Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional).
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes for a loaf pan, 25-30 minutes for mini-loaves, or 18-20 minutes for muffins, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
