  1. I can solve the mystery for you - it is from the "Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant" cookbook, page 123-124. Full name is "Yellowman's Banana Lime Bread". It's a keeper for sure.
     
  2. This is one of my favorite banana bread recipes! It is great for a change of pace from the typical banana bread. Thanks!
     
  3. Enjoyed the flavour and texture of this bread very much..it's dense and moist with coconut overtones..used a Bundt pan just for fun.
     
  4. Wow - very nice! Not your typical banana bread. The glaze was not too sweet, I boiled it down quite a bit so I think the alcohol burned off. Thanks for the post! ZWT 3
     
  5. I just loved this - the sugar in the syrup gives it a slightly crispy topping especially the edges - I toasted a few oats to include with the coconut as I did not have quite enough coconut and I left out the rum in the glaze because of the children - but all in all it was a big success and I will do it again soon WITH the rum !!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
