This banana bread recipe is like no other I have ever tasted! It is sweet and moist on the inside with a tangy deliciousness drizzled on the outside. You may never want to try another banana bread recipe again. I know I haven’t! 
It’s what you don’t see in this picture that really defines just how yummy this banana bread is… the 4 crying, salivating, desperate to eat children circled around the table asking a million times if I’m done taking pictures YET??? No, they’re not starving, just anxious to eat “the BEST” banana bread as they call it. I don’t think they’ve ever had plain banana bread, this IS the recipe I always make because I just can’t bring myself to try another one. We have a very monogamous relationship, this banana bread and I. I have been faithful ever since my first bite. 
Ingredients
- 2 C flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 C sugar
- 1/4 C real butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 3-4 mashed bananas
- 1/4 C sour cream or plain yogurt
- 3 T apple juice or milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 C + 3 T coconut, divided
- 1/2 C powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 T fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.

- Stir in 1/2 cup coconut.
- Pour into greased loaf pan and sprinkle with 3 T additional coconut on top.
- Bake in oven for 1 hour or until knife comes out clean. If additional time is needed, cover with foil to prevent coconut from burning.
