I made this Banana nut bread recipe for years,without the coconut.Also made the hummingbird cake .I realized they were the same on one Christmas cooking binge and I made both that was a duh moment. Lol still. The recipe I used came from an Arkansas home extension cookbook.I love to give the bread at the holidays.
