Coconut Banana Bread | Life With Garnish

I love a good quick bread and this coconut banana bread recipe is one that my whole family loves. That in itself is a rare feat. It’s usually daddy not liking some ingredient or one or two of the kiddos not liking something OR daddy likes it but NONE of the kids do.

Why can’t they just be like me and like everything?

Since this will probably never happen I’m constantly on the look out for ingredients that I can combine and the whole family will eat. With this recipe you have coconut (), bananas (), a simple coconut glaze (). All those checks can mean only one thing.

This coconut banana bread recipe is a keeper!
