Banana Bread With A Coconut Twist
In my home it's inevitable that there will be ripe bananas at the end of the week. I love nothing better than cup of coffee with a warm piece banana bread - especially on a Friday afternoon or the weekend. This super simple recipe incorporates Australian bananas, coconut and offers a gluten-free option too. Yum!
