Coconut, Macadamia Nut, and White Chocolate Banana Bread

I love making banana bread and I love the combination of coconut, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate, so I decided to combine them together and make this bread.

It had a fantastic combination of flavors and textures and was so moist and delicious.

This bread was a huge hit with my kids - they both gave it a double thumbs up.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Add the bananas, sour cream, chocolate chips, coconut, and macadamia nuts, stir well to combine. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 1 hour or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack. Slice and serve slathered with butter if desired. Enjoy.
