This is an awesome recipe for banana bread. The secret is the small amounts of coconut and rolled oats that give it a moist, chewy texture.

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter-flavored Crisco (vegetable shortening)
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 large or 3 small, ripe bananas
1/4 cup sweetened bakers coconut
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream sugars and Crisco. Add eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Stir in remaining dry ingredients, coconut, and walnuts. Pour into well-greased loaf pan. Bake 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
