Nuts, coconut, lime, and rum give this quick bread a tropical and indulgent feel. It’s an unforgettable recipe with the tangy lime glaze balancing the sweet bread. Give it a try. Don’t let the long ingredient list fool you; many are repeated ingredients that are mixed in the bread and then used to top the bread with a glaze that puts drizzled powdered sugar and milk to shame. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 tablespoons tub light cream cheese, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
9 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 cups) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup mashed ripe banana |
1/2 cup fat-free milk |
2 tablespoons dark rum or 1/4 teaspoon imitation rum extract |
1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind |
2 teaspoons lime juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
1/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
2 teaspoons butter |
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice |
2 teaspoons dark rum or 1/8 teaspoon imitation rum extract |
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted |
2 tablespoons flaked sweetened coconut |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Coat an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.

4. Pour batter into prepared pan; bake at 375° for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan. Let cool slightly on a wire rack.
