    Banana bread with limes

    Oh, yes, you read that right…Lime Coconut Banana Bread. Apparently, I’m craving all the tropical flavors. But, can you blame me? It’s like a billion degrees outside, so naturally my palette is inclined towards all the limes, coconuts, and bananas one can devour. Someone told me earlier this week that we were going to get a heatwave in Charleston. Um, I’m sorry, but isn’t that just Charleston in July? Thankfully, I’ve got limes and coconuts to comfort me until November when I can finally shut off my air conditioner.

    But, I digress, this lime coconut banana bread is perfectly sweet and just the right chewy, but soft texture. I used light canned coconut milk, but you could probably use full fat. The texture will likely be a little softer due to the increased fat content.

    I know it’s an absolute pain because you’re mouth will be watering by the time the bread comes out of the oven, but try to let the bread cool before slicing. It helps keep that perfect texture intact.

    See! Look a that perfect crumb. It’s worth it, y’all. I may or may not have had this for breakfast, snacks, and with all my meals all week long. I also noticed another three more bananas darkening in my fruit basket. I’m pretty sure I know where they are going to end up.
