Coconut Pecan Banana Bread Recipe

These happened this weekend. Coconut Pecan Banana Bread Muffins that is. And let me just tell you… they were fabulous!
So much so, that I made extras for my family to enjoy for breakfast while I’m out of town the first of the week.
I’m headed off to Chicago to learn all about cheese for a few days this week and knew that I wanted to leave something homemade and scrumptious for my guys so they’d miss me even more while I’m away.
Isn’t that silly?
My husband absolutely loves this version of my banana bread muffins and I hope he feels like I’m there every morning whipping up a fresh batch for his breakfast.
Honestly, I’m enjoying them just as much, if not more, than the salted caramel banana muffins I make. The coconut and pecans just do something magicals to this recipe.
Full of coconut, tiny bits of pecan, and yummy overripe bananas really takes this banana bread recipe to a whole new level.
Here’s the recipe for my Coconut Pecan Banana Bread Muffins. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Hi
I live in Australia and was wondering how much is a stick of butter?

Thanks!
Muffins are my love language.
Love the coconut in these! I would be munching on these all day!
Oh my goodness, I’d eat this entire batch!
Oooh! Coconut banana. What a fun idea! I will definitely try these.
I love the idea of a coconut banana bread! I’m pretty sure my husband would go crazy for these, great idea!
If you like pecans, don’t forget them. Finely chopped they add a special touch to this recipe, too. The flavors are just perfect together.
Such a great flavor combo, Robin. Have fun in Chicago!!
I’m really sorta in love with these. And when my husband is too, I know they are a keeper. Thanks so much!
Ohmahgosh I literally gasped when I saw all the deliciousness going on here! So much YUM. Have fun on your cheese trip! 🙂
Thanks! I think you’d love these, Stephanie!
I love that it’s muffins. I have a banana bread recipe that I always use but I have never tried it in muffins- which would be so much more convenient. Maybe I will throw everyone off & make these muffins with the bananas instead. Adding the coconut & pecans sounds amazing.
I love making banana bread as muffins now. It is just so handy for serving! I hope you like this version if you try it. We’re crazy about it!
Delish! Totally sounds like the perfect breakfast muffin. Randy would be very happy with this combo!
I think he would love it. I’ll make it for y’all if you’ll promise to come stay for the weekend again soon! xoxo
