Banana Nut Bread

Last week I was making breakfast breads for a bachelorette party I was attending. The thought of SUN and warm weather took over me in what I was going to prepare. Banana Nut Bread, but I did not want it to be traditional. Because I was going someplace warm it made me think about adding coconut and chopped up chocolate cover macadamia nuts and no I did not go to Hawaii.

1 ½ Sticks of Butter

2 Tablespoons of Sour Cream

2 Eggs

½ Cup Raw Sugar

1 teaspoon of Vanilla

2 Teaspoons of Lemon Zest

3 Very Ripe Bananas chopped

1 Cup of Shredded Coconut

1 ½ Cup of Flour

1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder

½ Teaspoon of Baking Soda

1 Cup of Chopped Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts

Preheat 350

Grease and Floured a 10×4.5 loaf pan

With an electric mixer beat together the Sugar, Butter, and Sour Cream followed by one Egg at a time. When well combined add the Vanilla, Lemon Zest, Bananas, and Coconut. Mix in Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder and once well combined finally stir in the Macadamia Nuts. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until wooden spoon comes out clean.
