Banana Bread

1 cube butter

1 1/2 c flour

1/2 c whole wheat flour

1 t salt

1 1/2 t baking powder

3/4 c sugar

2 eggs

3 overripe bananas, mashed with a fork

1 t vanilla

1/2 chopped pecans

1/2 c shredded dried coconut

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.

Mix dry ingredients together. In mixer, cream butter, eggs, and bananas. Stir this mixture into dry ingredients just enough to combine (It will be slightly lumpy.) Gently stir in nuts, coconut, and vanilla.

Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Do not overcook. Cook on rack for 15 min before removing from pan. I don't usually like banana bread, but I like this one.
