Jamie Oliver Banana and Coconut Bread

What is it about the super lovely combination of banana and coconut in a bread recipe?
This Jamie Oliver recipe is not only moist and delicious, but it also offers a great way to use up overripe bananas.
You start with simple ingredients like flour, coconut milk, and mashed bananas, which blend together for a perfect loaf.
The unique twist of adding coconut makes it my go-to when I crave something beyond the usual banana bread.
