Coconut Banana Breakfast Bread

This Banana Bread is the BOMB! Full of flavor and oh-so-healthy, it makes the perfect easy weekday breakfast or sweet afternoon snack. My husband is out the door at 6am every morning so I try to make this once a week that way there's something ready for him. I like to use banana's that are over ripe, when the outsides have started to brown, that way they are super sweet and have an intense banana flavor. Enjoy!
