Banana Coconut Tea Bread

"I found this recipe in my old Sunset Cook Book of Breads, Twelfth Printing 1973. Toasted coconut enhances this easy-to-make banana tea bread. The flavors really intensify after 3 to 4 days of mellowing. Keep it tightly wrapped to preserve its moisture content. I usually double this recipe to compensate for the wait. Enjoy!"

  • Stir in bananas; fold in toasted coconut.
  • Pour into a well-greased loaf pan (5 x 9 inches).
  • Bake in a moderate oven 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooking is so satisfying for me. The possibilities for creativity, providing nourishment, and sharing are endless. I learned a little about cooking from my step mother, aunts and cousins. It has been fun experimenting ever since.
