Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan or coat with cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (optional). In another mixing bowl, combine the banana, oil, and honey. Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. (Do not over mix. ) The batter should be lumpy and stiff. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a tester (toothpick)

inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan about 10 minutes, then turn it out of the pan and cool completely on a rack.

NOTES: For low fat version, substitute unsweetened applesauce for oil.
