Servings: persons

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, plus some for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas, mashed with a fork until smooth
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup grated dried unsweetened coconut

1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2
Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.
3
Mix together the dry ingredients.
4
With a hand mixer, a whisk, or in the food processor, cream the butter and beat in the eggs and bananas.
5
Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients; stir just enough to combine (its okay if there are lumps).
6
Gently stir in the vanilla, nuts, and coconut.
7
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until nicely browned.
8
A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread will come out fairly clean when it is done, but because of the bananas this bread will remain moister than most.
9
Do not overcook.
10
Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
