1 One half cup Whole wheat flour, divided
One half teaspoon Salt
One half cup Coconut, unsweetened shredd.
1 cup Mashed banana (3 small)
2 teaspoon Baking powder
3 tablespoon Vegetable oil
One half teaspoon Baking soda
2 tablespoon Liquid honey

Suggestion: reserve One fourth cup flour. Low fat recipes have a tendency to be
too dry. Bake about 35 min in 9x5 loaf pan or muffin cups if 8x4 pan not
available.

Mix together 1 One fourth c. of flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda and
salt in a bowl. Combine banana, oil and honey. Stir into flour mixture
quickly but gently until just combined. Add part of the remaining One fourth cup
flour if needed. Batter will be lumpy.

Spread batter evenly in a lightly greased (and/or waxed paper lined) 8x4
loaf pan. Bake at 350 F about 45 min until tester inserted in center comes
out clean. Cool 10 min in pan. Turn out of pan, cool completely on rack.
Wrap in waxed paper and store overnight before slicing.
