Blueberry Coconut Banana Bread – Recipe for homemade quick bread with blueberries, sweet coconut and banana makes an easy loaf. Fruit and coconut combination is perfect!
{Edited, new video and rephotographed June 2017}
I think you all know by now that I love coconut. It’s delicious in drinks, desserts and main dishes.
This bread combines simple ingredients like banana, coconut, and blueberries for a rich satisfying slice of bread. The flavor combo is outta of this world amazing!
I could eat almost this entire loaf but I won’t let myself do that. Fortunately, my husband was a passer-by. He likes coconut too.
He wanted a piece before it was even photographed. Hmm. Huge dilemma. Feed the hungry husband which I adore or make him wait til I take the pics. I really wanted to choose option A but I had to go with option B.
It was too beautiful not to photograph.
But wait that smart sexy man came up with option C. Can you guess what that might be?
Cut from the other end that’s covered with the parchment. See why I married him? He thinks outside the box. Gotta love it.
He got his coconut bread. I got to take my time taking the pictures. We’re both happy. All is well.
Now go make yourself this rocking blueberry coconut banana bread!

You mixed so many of my favorites into this bread, I especially am loving the beauty of those berries! Great bread!
Berries truly are beautiful. It’s so sad that they are no longer in season here. But I guess there’s always next year.
Looks delish!! I can’t wait to make this – it looks like it would be perfect to have with a cup of tea as a mid-morning snack!! 🙂
Good idea Gretchen! Nothing like a good cup of tea with delicious baked goods. 🙂
This recipe does not contain the instructions for the flour, baking soda and powder. Managed to work it out though and cooked this banana bread, it is amazing!!
Thanks for catching that Kiera! I’ve updated the recipe. Thanks for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed it.
P.S. Love your name. 🙂
I just made blueberry banana bread, but I love your addition of coconut! Yummy 🙂
A nice recipe. Thanks so much.
Thanks Liz!
This is now one of my favorite recipes to use up those leftover bananas!
I have tried it with both raspberries and halved frozen sweet cherries and both were amazing!
Just made this! Really good, but took a LONG time to cook, about 1 hour 20 min. But DELISH! It turned out a little dry because I had to cook it so long, but has great flavor.
