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.

This is my go to banana bread recipe. We love it! Any suggestions on using the recipe to make muffins?
We have not tried this recipe as muffins Ashley, 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.
My favorite so far. So moist and flavorful.
Yay! So happy to hear that Karen.

What kind of coconut and brand did you used
I use shredded coconut and usually just purchase the store brand.
I made the pecan-coconut-banana bread recipe with Pamela’s Gluten Free Pancake and Baking Mix and it turned out wonderful. I took it to a meeting and I took home an empty plate. Even had someone ask me to send them the recipe.
I am so glad you were able to adapt this recipe to make it gluten free Bonnie!
Made this last week. I made two as someone commented it was hobbled up quick. So moist and delicious. Addison of coconut helped with texture. I usually use walnuts in banana bread, but pecans really step it up. Will now make this recipe only. Yummy yummy
Yay! Happy to hear you love this banana bread recipe Pam!
