Coconut Quick Bread – -Soft bread packed full of flaky coconut. If you like, top this bread off with a dreamy dark chocolate for a more decadent treat.

Grab a bag of coconut…we’re making some quick bread today!

A short supply list: 9 inch loaf pan + your favorite way to grease it. You will also need two mixing bowls, a whisk and a silicone/rubber spatula. Of course, you will also need measuring cups & spoons.

Ingredients Needed:

• Flour + Salt+ Baking powder
• Eggs + Vanilla
• Milk
• Sugar
• Butter (melted)
• Unsweetened shredded coconut

Recipe Notes:

No need to pull out your big electric mixer for this one! Two mixing bowls (with whisk & silicone spatula) will work just fine. Just be sure you don’t over mix your batter. Simply mix until it’s fully combined. Over mixing the batter may give you a dense loaf of quick bread.

The dark chocolate glaze is optional. This quick bread is delicious with or without it.

If you do wish to include the glaze, simply melt dark (or regular) chocolate chips until smooth. Then, drizzle on top of the cooled bread. You can melt them in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave. For the microwave version…make sure your bowl is microwave safe and melt the chocolate in 30 second intervals, to prevent burning.

A few other glaze options:

• Lemon
• Orange
• Blackberry
• Buttermilk

Enjoy-
