Notes

The recipe originally says to bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, but I use 2 pans and baked only 45 minutes, checking that when toothpick inserted came out dry.

You can also bake in smaller pans, I used 4 for the recipe.

The only thing I did not do was to make the glaze for this recipe, next time I will. Bananas on the counter are calling for me to make this Coconut Banana Bread this week. I love baking but have cut back a bit, every recipe that catches my eye I have been making, and the calories are getting my waistline. Wish I had one of those Calorie Wands to whisk wave away the calories. Kitchen Witch??
