Coconut Lime Banana Zucchini Bread

Wow!  That was a mouthful to say and to type! I got this recipe from a friend of mine (Jen)'s friend Cynthia (thanks Cynthia!)!  She posted on Facebook that she was making this bread, and I was curious and asked her to share the recipe!  She did!  I'm not sure where she got the recipe, but I made it today!  It was delish!

Ingredients

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

2 eggs

1 to 1 1/2 cups smashed bananas (about 3 bananas)

1/4 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)

3 tbsp apple juice or applesauce

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup coconut flakes

1 tbsp coconut (to sprinkle on top)

1 zucchini, grated

Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar

approximate 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice (about 1 lime)

Directions:
1)  Mix the first three dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
2)  Mash up the bananas with a fork and set aside.
3)  Crack two eggs and toss them in your mixer.  Add the butter.  Add the sugar and beat everything on medium speed for about 1 minute.  Add the bananas, zucchini, yogurt, apple juice/sauce, vanilla and coconut.
4)  Mix until well blended.  Add the dry ingredients.  Mix until moist.  Pour into greased bread pan (spray w/ Pam first!), and then sprinkle coconut on top.  Bake for approximately an hour at 350 degrees.
5)  Prepare the glaze:  mix 2 ingredients into bowl until glaze is slightly runny.
6)  When bread is done, let it cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then take out of pan and pour glaze over the top (put wax paper or pan down to catch the drips).
7)  Cut a slice, place a bite in your mouth, sigh and close your eyes.  Yummm!  Feel all those flavors come together and party in your mouth!

Amy's Notes:

OK, I added a full stick of butter!!  OOPS!  It was still delicious (probably made it even more delicious?).  I also used unsweetened applesauce, not apple juice.  I did not follow the directions to the T (meaning I added the eggs after I beat the butter and sugar -- it still turned out).  And finally... I added a ton more coconut on top than what the recipe called for.   I also baked for about an hour and 7 minutes -- it probably could've been reduced to about 325 for 10 minutes after the hour b/c some of the middle was still runny!
