Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of butter (more for greasing the pan)
• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
• ½ whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed until smooth
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• ½ cup dried unsweetened coconut

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 9×5 inch loaf pan
2. Mix dry ingredients. Cream the butter and beat the eggs and bananas. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients; do not mix more than necessary. Gently stir in the vanilla, nuts, and coconut.
3. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, until nicely browned. A toothepick inserted into the centre of the read will come out fairly clean when it is done.
4. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes, lightly brush on some butter on top
