Coconut Banana Bread with Lemon Glaze

I have never made banana bread in my life just because it sounded a bit too.. boring?.. But my husband loves banana bread, so I've made this loaf for him but with a fun ingredient. Coconut! And to make this bread taste more like a cake, I smothered it in lemon glaze. Decadent! I'm also proud to call this a semi healthy recipe since I have reduced the normal amount of sugar you put in a loaf and completely eliminated the need to add vegetable oil.

Bread

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup cane sugar
• 3/4 cup shredded dried coconut (Plus more for decorating) 
• 2 eggs
• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Lemon Glaze

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a bread pan with cooking spray.

2. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and coconut. Mix together well. In a separate bowl beat eggs, bananas, sour cream, and vanilla until even. Pour the banana mixture into flour mixture and beat well until combined evenly.

3. Pour the batter into the greased bread pan. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool the loaf.

4. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice to create the glaze. Pour the glaze over the loaf. Sprinkle with shredded coconut. Enjoy!
