The only thing better than homemade banana bread is Coconut Pecan Banana Bread. Sweet coconut, chewy pecans, and moist banana bread are combined in this delicious twist on everyone’s favorite bread.
Was there ever a better way to use those ripe bananas on the counter than by making a loaf of mouth-watering banana bread?
Sometimes, I find myself buying more bananas than I need so they’ll be sure to ripen before we can eat them and I’ll have an excuse to make a loaf of banana bread. I know I’m not alone in this!
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread With Coconut And Nuts
There’s hardly a more comforting smell than that of banana bread baking. When I’m making a loaf, it’s a sure bet that my youngest son will come running to see what I have in the oven.
From Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Banana Bread to Triple Chocolate Banana Bread , or the classic Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, I love just about every variation there is on this classic quick bread. (I haven’t yet tried these incredible looking Chocolate Banana Muffins but you can bet they’re on my list.)
I’ve shared my Blueberry Coconut Banana Bread with you before, a perfect loaf of moist banana bread stuffed with blueberries and sprinkled with coconut. I loved how that recipe turned out and started playing with variations on the coconut banana bread idea but with pecans.
Healthy Coconut Banana Bread
Like in the blueberry coconut version, I decided to mix shredded coconut into the batter as well as sprinkling it on top of the loaf. This Coconut Pecan Banana Bread is the perfected result with nutty pecans and sweet flakes of shredded coconut are packed into every slice.
A loaf of Coconut Banana Bread is delicious fresh from the oven or lightly toasted and served with a pat of butter for breakfast the next day. It’s sweet enough to be a tasty dessert served alongside a scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream as well.
Sour cream is my secret to making banana bread that stays moist and flavorful even days later. I beat the sour cream into the batter along with the butter and I’ve found it makes a world of difference in the taste and texture.
Gluten Free Banana And Coconut Bread
The outside of the bread develops a slightly crisp crust while the inside stays tender. Taking a bite of this banana bread is a heavenly experience.
A few years ago, I shared my classic no-frills Sour Cream Banana Bread and it was a game-changer. I use sour cream just about every time I bake a loaf of banana bread now and the results are perfect every time.
Somehow I find banana bread with sour cream tastes even better the next day! It stores well sliced or unsliced in a sealed container and will taste even more moist than when it came out of the oven.
Healthy Ish Peanut Butter & Coconut Banana Bread
This bread also freezes wonderfully so feel free to make a couple of loaves at a time if you have lots of bananas to use! You’ll never regret having an extra loaf of banana bread (or a few extra muffins) around.
You can make this banana bread as muffins just as easily as making a loaf. Follow the recipe as directed and divide the batter into muffin tins. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
These muffins make a delicious quick breakfast on the go or lunchbox snack, another reason why it never hurts to have a batch of banana muffins in the cupboard or freezer.

Pineapple Coconut Banana Bread • Freutcake
This is a great quick bread that lends itself well to being toasted, spread with butter, or just on its own. It’s not as cake-like as most banana bread recipes, it’s a little sturdier and and holds together well. The coconut flavor pairs really well with the bananas!
This recipe has tropical flavors thanks to the sweetened coconut and ripe bananas. I like to change it up by spreading Nutella on slices, or adding dark chocolate chips to the batter.
I have included step by step photos and instructions, as well as tips and tricks in the post. If you’d rather skip all that, scoot right on down to the full recipe card located at the bottom of the post.

Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove from the pan and place onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
This recipe can frozen after baking. Cool completely, then place entire loaf of banana bread in a freezer bag and freeze. You can also freeze slices, using parchment paper pieces in between the slices.

I know it seems so basic and boring but it’s classic and I have always loved the banana bread smell drifting through the house when we were younger. My mom would make banana bread often because not only was it our favorite, it was also my dad’s favorite.
If you’ve followed my blog for some time, you’ll know that I love to bake my dad goodies for his birthday. His favorite is my original banana bread recipe and it literally lights up his face whenever I present him with banana bread on any given day. This year, for my dad’s birthday (in August), I decided to make him this coconut banana bread. I decided to take the liberty to change up classic banana bread. He enjoys coconut so why not combine the two? It was a fantastic decision!
This coconut banana bread is so moist and has so much banana flavor! You really gotta use ripe bananas. Like ripe ripe. Like pretty much black bananas. They have the most flavor. I also love that this bread is speckled all over with unsweetened coconut flakes. It gives it great texture and a slight crunch, if you’re into that kind of thing. The bread is SO moist and it smells amazing. The coconut on top of the bread gets toasted the *right* amount, too.
Coconut Rum Banana Bread
Healthy is definitely a subjective word. What I think as healthy, you might not think as healthy. I hesitated to even call this healthy coconut banana bread but you know what? I think it’s healthy. It uses all natural sugars and instead of bad oils, it is using coconut oil (which ties in perfectly with the coconut banana flavor!).
Who wouldn’t love waking up to a slice of this every morning? My dad loved it! I wish I had made a double batch because I would’ve loved a loaf for ourselves but thankfully, my dad likes to share so I was able to have a couple slices ;)
The intoxicating smell of coconut banana bread will be drifting throughout
