Passionfruit, coconut and banana bread

Who said sweet things can't be healthy?
This recipe is packed full of fibre from the coconut, oats, and passionfruit seeds. I've adapted this recipe from another so I can't take credit for "inventing" this one but it's really tasty just the same. Give a try and let me know what you think!
