tropical kahlua nut bread
(6 ratings)
Just took these beauties out of the oven 10 minutes ago. Filled with Kahlua and cream, crushed pineapple, mashed banana, and coconut plus nuts, this is a really moist bread. Hope you give it a try.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This is a great twist on a classic banana bread. The coconut and pineapple deliver the tropical flavors as promised in the recipe's name - a perfect combo with the banana. We love the texture the coconut and walnuts add to the super delicate bread. The Kahlua is very subtle but is in the undertones. The glaze and cherries is a nice touch and really goes well with this bread. This would be great to snack on with a cup of coffee or tea.
