1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoon butter, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together.

Cream butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time and combine well. Mix in bananas, then dry ingredients. Mix almost all the coconut, reserving 2 tablespoons.
