Coconut Banana Bread With Lime Glaze

This recipe is from Our Best Bites and these girls know what they're doing! Almost every recipe I have tried from them is sooo delicious.  As we speak I have an Overnight Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal in the crock pot.  But that's a post for later! This bread is very yummy.  It is banana bread with coconut in it and toasted on top.  Then it's drizzled with a glaze of fresh lime juice and powdered sugar.  My husband even said it was good! And that is saying something because he usually doesn't make comments about food.  I used 4 mini loaf pans but their recipe is just for one large loaf.  If you do make mini loaves (which I just think are cuter anyways) adjust baking time to about 30 minutes.  Each oven is different though so keep an eye on it.

2 c. flour
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 c. mashed bananas (about 4)
1/4 c. sour cream
3 T. milk
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c. coconut

Topping: 2 T. additional coconut
Glaze: 1/2 c. powdered sugar whisked with 1 1/2 T. fresh lime juice


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together.  Set aside.In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until blended.  Add eggs and beat to combine.  Add banana, sour cream, milk and vanilla.  Beat until blended.  Add flour mixture and beat at low speed until just combined.  Stir in 1/2 c. coconut.

Pour batter into 9x5" loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.  Sprinkle additional 2 T. on top.  Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.  If halfway through coconut is getting too toasty cover with foil.

When done, remove from oven.  Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes and carefully remove from pan.  Whisk powdered sugar and lime juice together.  Drizzle on top.
