This is a riff on a super popular and delicious recipe from the site: Cathy's Banana Bread. This version incorporates other reviewers' suggestions to use a mix of white and brown sugar and to use butter instead of margarine. It also includes a little coconut and cinnamon. The coconut toasts nicely on top, adds great texture, and smells and tastes amazing with the banana and the chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.33 cups packed brown sugar
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter , softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cups unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. 2

    Cream white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in banana, sour cream, and vanilla.

  3. 3

    Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl; gently stir into wet mixture just until combined.

  4. 4

    Toss together chocolate chips, coconut, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Fold about 2/3 of the mixture into the batter, then pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chip mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
