Best Banana Bread

The best banana bread on the planet!! Anyone who eats it, wants the recipe.

ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3)
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
the one difference in this recipe for me is I use freshly grated coconut, because it’s readily available in the Philippines.
Frosting:
1 T. flaked sweetened coconut
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 T. fresh lime or lemon juice. I use concentrated juice, but a lot less.
Don’t let the frosting fool you -- I am not a frosting fan.
It is more of a very light glaze; almost unnoticeable.
Don’t make the frosting heavy; reduce it if necessary.
