Crunchy Banana Colada Bread, The crunchy coconut and banana-nut topping adds a new twist to this tropics-inspired quick bread ”, *Made for Australia/NZ Swap #34*
This is REALLY tasty !! I could only find Lucerne pina colada yogurt, and Quaker True Delight Coconut/Banana/Macadamia nut granola bars If that made a difference, it didn’t matter I baked at 325* in my dark loaf pan for 45 minutes uncovered, the 20 minutes covered with foil Although I had sprinkled the granola bar pieces over the top, all the edges puffed first and the topping ended up in a solid strip in the center Left the coconut out for personal preference, sufficient flavor from the bars
I kind of forced the banana for ripeness, and think there would be more banana flavor from the usual almost transparent reipe bananas, I usually have ! Thanks for posting, Mom2Rose !
