Ingredients: 6 ounces white chocolate; 4 ounces (1 cup) walnuts; 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter (melted); 2 3/4 cups flour; 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 4 to 6 ripened bananas (to make 2 cups mashed); 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 3 tablespoons dark rum or brandy; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 3 1/2 ounces (1 firmly packed cup) shredded coconut; Optional: sesame seeds (to sprinkle on top)

Servings: persons

6 ounces white chocolate
4 ounces (1 cup) walnuts
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter (melted)
2 3/4 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 to 6 ripened bananas (to make 2 cups mashed)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons dark rum or brandy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 ounces (1 firmly packed cup) shredded coconut
Optional: sesame seeds (to sprinkle on top)

1
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter two 6-cup loaf pans, 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 .Dust the pans with fine bread crumbs or toasted or untoasted wheat germ.
2
Chop the chocolate into 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces.
3
Break up the walnuts in to medium-small pieces.
4
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5
Mash the bananas until coarse, not pureed.
6
Beat sugar and butter to mix well. Add eggs, rum and vanilla and beat at high speed for 5 minutes until pale and thick. Add bananas and beat just to mix. Add the dry ingredients and beat only until thoroughly incorporated (the mixture does not have to be smooth-it will be lumpy because of the bananas.)
7
Stir in chocolate, coconut and walnuts.
8
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cover the pans loosely with foil during last 20 minutes of baking to prevent browning.
9
Cool in pans about 15 minutes before removing from pans.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
