This Pecan Coconut Banana Bread has to be my favorite banana bread recipe of all time! It’s the ultimate banana nut bread recipe, so super moist and packed with pecans and coconut. Like it wasn’t amazing enough already, it’s also topped with a deliciously crumbly streusel topping!
Even better, this recipe doesn’t contain a ton of butter and fat, it doesn’t need it! The bananas keep it plenty moist!
This recipe is really easy to make, no special tools required! Like all quick bread recipes, you’ll want to be sure not to over mix the wet and dry ingredients, just combine until moistened. Over mixing the ingredients causes a tough & chewy bread.

Absolutely my favorite banana bread EVER! Thanks for sharing, making it after lunch, for ninth time.
Seeing that it doesn’t have much flour in the recipe, is it a shallow loaf ? Or does it rise quite a bit?
It’s a fairly shallow loaf.
This is one of my favorite banana bread recipes!
How can make this recipe into muffins?
I’m not sure about the baking times for regular (12), and large (9), muffin tins.
Thank you.
We have not tried this recipe as muffins Shelly, but other readers have with great success. You will want to keep an eye on them since they will probably only take 15-20 minutes to bake through.
Can I substitute sour cream for the yogurt?
We have only made this as written but sour cream should work in place of the yogurt.
My absolute favorite banana bread- everyone who is lucky enough to get a slice raves about it!
Made them into muffins! So yummmm!
