Another Nutritious Quick Bread
The combination of the different ingredients in this bread creates a rich flavour that you simply cannot resist. My family has rated this quick bread a perfect ten for many reasons. One reason is that it contains less sugar than the regular banana bread and it has a lot more fiber (actually, that is two). This coconut banana bread contains a significant amount of wholewheat flour and above all, it is moist.
