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.

This is one of my favorite banana bread recipes! It is great for a change of pace from the typical banana bread. Thanks!

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.
