I have a long-tested banana bread recipe that is one my Grandma used to make. I have changed it up to add some coconut and mandarin oranges. I took them to work and people said they were wonderful.

This is a great recipe! The coconut adds sweetness and a great texture. Very easy to pull together in a pinch. Had everything in my pantry! Great for breakfast! And a easy clean up! Read More

Update: I have made this several more times now sometimes following the recipe exactly sometime varying it. My kiddo doesn't like the chunks of mandarin so I usually blend up the mandarins into the batter. Family loves them as is but they are better with pineapple chunks. Something odd about these... when they are fresh from the oven they stick to the paper liner. After a few hours they peel off the paper just fine. Weird. Original: I always hesitate to rate a recipe that I've changed but I know other people may benefit from my changes. I suspect this would have been 5 stars had I followed the recipe exactly. Since coconut is supposed to be so good for you I subbed 1/4 C coconut oil 1/4 C butter for the margarine. I used 1.5 C gluten-free flour 1/2 C coconut flour. And I used fresh oranges. The coconut overpowered the other flavors a little but that was to be expected I guess. My family really enjoyed it and it will become a regular. I think it would also be good with pineapple instead of/or in addition to the oranges. Read More

I just made these for an easy grab and go breakfast. I sub'd a few things for added nutrition: 1/2 cup spelt flour for reg flour 1/2 cup brown sugar for white sugar and added 1 cup chopped walnuts in lieu of the mandarines as i didn't have any on hand. The batter itself was really good-tasted like cake! It also took a little longer to cook about 10 mins (maybe because i sub'd some spelt flour in there). Very good muffin recipe. It's seems more "treaty" than breakfasty but who doesn't want cake for breakfast?! Read More

Great recipe. Easy to make. Family and coworkers liked it. Wish the mandarins were more noticeable for flavour. Left some of the juice in to add moisture...we're just a bit in the drier side if oranges drained completely. Read More

I followed the recipe exactly. They came out really good. Next time I might use a cup of coconut flakes instead of just 1/2. I also might try crushed pineapple instead of the mandarin oranges like someone else previously suggested. They definitely came out great with the ingredients given in the recipe. Read More
