COCONUT BANANA BREAD WITH KEY LIME GLAZE

Category: Quick Breads

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
1/3 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a loaf pan or three miniature pans.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in bowl, mix ingredients. Place sugar and butter in a large bowl, beat and until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed or by hand until just moist. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut. Pour mixture in loaf or divide amongst three small pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean. If baking in a large pan bake for about 1 hour. Cool in pan for 10 minutes large or 5 minutes small loaves. Remove from pan and place on a wire rack.

Key Lime Glaze
1 tbsp shredded sweetened coconut (I actually used much more)
1/2 cup sifted confectioners sugar
1 1/2 tbsp key lime juice

Combine ingredients, stirring with a whisk and drizzle over banana breads while still warm. Cool completely on wire rack.
