Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the bananas until smooth. Set aside.
Melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas and mix until fully combined.
Whisk in the egg, vanilla extract, coconut milk, dark rum, and fresh lime juice until the batter is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Gently stir in the shredded coconut, lime zest, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread as is, or toast lightly and pair with a dollop of butter for an extra indulgent treat!
