1 cup white sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs

½ cup buttermilk

1 cup mashed bananas

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup quick cooking oats

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup chopped walnuts

½ cup flaked coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a medium bowl, mix flour, oats, baking soda and salt together and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well with each addition. Mix in buttermilk, bananas and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix well. Finally, fold in the nuts, coconut and 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
