Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 medium ripe mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup vanilla non-fat greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons amber rum
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp lime zest
  • sweetened coconut flakes (if desired)
  • lime zest (if desired)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (175 degrees C) and spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Combine dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, and salt) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, yogurt, rum, and vanilla; beat until blended.
  • Add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat at low speed just until moist. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon coconut, if desired. 
  • Bake at 350° F for 55-60 minutes (I cooked it 10 minutes longer, as it wasn’t quite done) or until a cake tester/wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan.Â
