1. Pre-heat oven to 350°f (175°c). Prepare your 9 x 3 loaf pan, coating it well with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and brown sugar until light and smooth.
2. Add eggs, bananas, yogurt, rum and vanilla (etc) if using and stir wet mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula.
3. Add coconut and mix lightly. Then add flour, baking soda and salt, and mix lightly with a whisk on top, to blend. Then fold your dry ingredients into your wet mix – until JUST combined.
4. Transfer batter to waiting prepared loaf pan. Top with unsweetened coconut and bake at 350°f (175°c) for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of your Jamaican Banana Bread comes out clean.
5. Once cool enough to handle, remove from the pan and cool on a baking rack.
6. Glaze: Combine confectioners sugar and rum (or lime juice) in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle with a spoon, or a fine-tipped piping bag, over the top of your Jamaican Banana Bread once cool then slice and… yum!
