White chocolate is the wonderfully different addition to this tropical-tasting bread. The moist slices are so scrumptious, they disappear as soon as I serve them.

Everyone loved it - even my son who does not like coconut in baked goods. I used 1/2 cup butter and substituted apple sauce for the rest, splenda sugar blend for the sugar, and cashews instead of pecans.

Loved it! My husband said it was the best bread ever. Easy to make with great results.

This is by far the best banana bread I have ever made. I swapped macadamia nuts for the pecans and won 1st place with it at our county fair. I think the judges one word comment sums it up: AWSOME!

Was very delicious! im not a big fan of banana bread but i love the coconut and white chocolate in this recipe...i would very much recommend this...although it darkens quickly...70 minutes i think is too long..after it cools it would be as hard as a rock! take it out right before its done...itll still bake in the pan after its removed from the oven.
