Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
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.
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.
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.
Add the shredded sweetened coconut and semisweet chocolate chips to the batter. Fold them in until evenly distributed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
