2 Cups All-purpose Flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 of a stick) softened butter

1 to 1 1/2 cups smashed bananas (about 3 bananas)
1/4 cup yogurt (vanilla, plain, strawberry, whatever flavor)
3 Tbl apple juice or applesauce
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1 Tbl coconut to sprinkle on top of bread

Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Appx 1 1/2 Tbl fresh lime or lemon juice (appx 1 lime; you may substitute store-bought lime or lemon juice if needed)

Combine the first three ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Beat softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Mix in the next six ingredients. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.

Pour into a greased 9x5 bread pan. Sprinkle the last Tablespoon of coconut on the the top of the batter.
Cook at 350* for about an hour or until tooth pick comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack. Poke holes in the bread with a fork. Drizzle lime glaze generously over the warm bread.
