I had bananas needing to be used so decided to try this recipe. The addition of the golden raisins and coconut worked well here. The flavor & texture of the banana bread is great and it rose beautifully. This is not super sweet, which is what I was looking for. The cooking time needed to be adjusted for my oven. I baked in a clear glass loaf pan & at 45 minutes had to reduce the heat in the oven. It took another 30 minutes before it passed the toothpick test and the outside of the loaf was darker than I prefer. It still tasted great! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Married 31 years. Live in rural area with one old mare and a small herd of Nubian dairy goats. I love cooking old favorites and trying new recipes. Mostly now just cooking for two but still host large groups several times a year. I've collected cookbooks for years when traveling. I have all my Mom and Mother in Laws cookbooks also. I try and write in my cookbooks any changes, when first tried and any other info that my daughter might enjoy later. Alot of my favorite moments center around food, holiday preparation and family time through the years. Recently my daughter has become interested in cooking more and I enjoy her new recipes and creations. My husband doesn't cook but helps in prep as directed and is the man for kitchen clean up.
