4. Add eggs and wet ingredients
   Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the mashed bananas, yogurt, rum (or cider), and vanilla extract until blended.

5. Combine dry & wet
   Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed just until combined. Fold in ½ cup shredded coconut.

6. Bake
   Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coconut over the top.
   Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & glaze
   Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack. While still warm, whisk together powdered sugar and lime juice. Drizzle over the top.
