Banana Bread Recipe
If you are not a banana bread fan, then you need to try this delicious banana bread recipe.
2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup butter, softened 2 large eggs 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3) 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut **the one difference in this recipe for me is I use freshly grated coconut, because it's readily available in the Philippines. Frosting: 1 T. flaked sweetened coconut 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1 1/2 T. fresh lime or lemon juice. I use concentrated juice, but a lot less. **Don't let the frosting fool you -- I am not a frosting fan. It is more of a very light glaze; almost unnoticeable. Don't make the frosting heavy; reduce it if necessary. 1. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir with a whisk. 2. Beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl until well blended. 3. Add eggs one at a time; beating well after each addition. 4. Add banana, yogurt and vanilla. Beat until blended. 5. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until just moist. 6. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut. 7. Spoon batter into 9 x 5 inch lightly greased loaf pan. Sprinkle with 1 T. coconut. 8. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or toothpick comes out clean. 9. Cool in pan for about 10 minutes; remove from pan. 10. Combine powdered sugar and juice for frosting. Drizzle over warm bread. Enjoy!
