Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.25 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
• 0.5 teaspoon coconut extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, and mix until combined.

Step 3

Stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut and buttermilk until evenly distributed in the batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the bread cools, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, coconut milk, and coconut extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the coconut glaze over the top and let it set for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your Glazed Coconut Banana Bread as a delightful tropical treat!
