COCONUT DATE BANANA BREAD

EASY BANANA BREAD … and it’s pretty too.

This is a quick toss-together banana bread that I, well, tossed together and was loved by all. If you’re looking for an easy banana bread that looks impressive that you can mix up in ten minutes and then let bake for an hour while you do something else, this is it!
