Goldberry’s Banana Bread with Coconut Lime Glaze

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups whole wheat white flour (A-P works fine, too)
• 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Butter, softened
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 1/2 Cups Mashed, very ripe Banana (you can thaw frozen)
• 1/4 Cup plain yogurt
• 3 Tablespoons Dark Rum
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 Cup Flaked Sweetened Coconut
• Handful of chopped walnuts if that makes you happy
• Glaze Ingredients
• 2 Tablespoons Flaked Sweetened Coconut
• 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Whisk together. Set aside.

3. Beat granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl until well blended.

4. Add eggs, one at a time until each is well combined.

5. Add banana, yogurt, rum, and vanilla extract to mixer, and beat until blended.

6. Slowly beat in flour mixture on a low speed until just combined.

7. Stir in flaked coconut (and walnuts, if you like).

8. Spoon batter into a prepared 9"X5" loaf pan (we line ours with a parchment sling) and bake for about an hour. A toothpick should come out clean when it is baked all the way.

9. Cool for 5 minutes, and then move to a wire rack.

10. While the bread is cooling, combine the coconut glaze ingredients. Drizzle over cooled banana bread.
