A moist delicious banana bread with coconut and a tangy lime icing on top. I love how baking is like aromatherapy; rum perfumes this recipe delightfully. Inspired at Big Oven by Bake At Midnite Recipes. https://bakeatmidnite.com/jamaican-banana-rum-bread/

3 bananas

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

½ cup butter, melted

½ cup sour cream

3 Tbsp rum

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

¾ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

½ cup coconut + 1 Tbsp, divided

½ cup powdered sugar

2 Tbsp lime juice

Preheat oven to 350*. Spray oil in a bread pan and set aside. Beat bananas, sugar and eggs in a stand mixer. Add in the melted butter, sour cream, rum and vanilla. In a small bowl stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Pour over the batter ingredients and top with ½ cup coconut. Stir until just incorporated to keep the bread tender. Pour into your prepared bread pan. Top with the Tbsp of coconut and bake for about 65-75 minutes. Test with a toothpick to be sure it's done. Toothpick should come out clean.

Mix together the powdered sugar and lime juice. Spoon the glaze over the warm loaf.
