Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl stir together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside. In a medium bowl combine mashed bananas, brown sugar, coconut milk, egg and oil. Add banana mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with macadamia nuts and coconut. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean, covering loaf loosely with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing. Tips Tip: If using a sugar substitute, use Splenda(R) Brown Sugar Blend for Baking. Follow package directions to use product amount that's equivalent to 1/2 cup brown sugar.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
