Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
Toast the coconut carefully because it can brown quickly.
Line the pan with parchment to make releasing the sticky loaf easier.
Do not overmix the banana bread batter.
Allow the loaf to cool slightly before flipping, but do not let the caramel cool completely and harden in the pan.
Serve warm for the softest, stickiest texture.
Pecans or walnuts can be added for extra crunch.
