Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cups Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a medium bowl until mostly smooth. Add the eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Add the shredded sweetened coconut and semisweet chocolate chips to the batter. Fold them in until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it into an even layer. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips and shredded coconut on top for garnish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. Check the bread after 50 minutes and tent it with aluminum foil if the top is browning too quickly.

Step 8

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve your chocolate chip coconut banana bread warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
