Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread

So I had a few ripe bananas laying around...I also had some left over coconut from when I made coconut shrimp, so I thought I would throw it together and see how it came out!  Result = DELICIOUS!!!

Start with your dry ingredients:  1 1/2 Cups Flour, 3/4 Cup Sugar, 1 tsp. Baking Powder, 1/4 tsp. Salt, 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda, 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon.  Whisk together.

Then add 1 Cup Sweetened, Shredded Coconut, and 1/4 Cup Bittersweet Chocolate Chunks (Chocolate Chips are fine).

Now in a Separate Bowl, Whisk together:  2 Eggs (room temperature), 1/4 Cup Sour Cream (Makes the cake SO moist), 1/4 Cup melted Butter, 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil, 1 tsp. Vanilla extract

In Third Bowl mash 2 ripe Bananas with a fork.

Stir mashed Bananas into wet ingredients, then gently stir the wet mix into the dry.
Stir together until just combined.  Do not over mix.

Pour batter into greased loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

Now, I won't say this is on the same playing field as my Grandmother's Banana Bread (I don't know that I will ever be able to share that recipe!), but this recipe is REALLY good!
