Zucchini Coconut Bread
or
WOW, "What is this goodness I'm eating?" Bread!
So I was looking for a sweet recipes for my zucchini that went crazy in my garden! It was my first year growing it and I am so happy with the results and the deer didn't even try to eat them! I have already made Zucchini Chocolate Chip bread with some, and I loved that, but there is something I love even more about this recipe. I wanted to have something coconutty but still use up my Zucchini and also have a sweet lemon zing to it. I found this recipe and made some alterations from others recommendations and fell in love with the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (at least until I wear it on my hips because I lack self-control)!
The original base recipe came from the food.com website.
I took others suggestions and tweaked it and came up with a slight variation on the recipe.
YIELD 2 loaves
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup coconut oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded coconut or 1 cup shredded flaked coconut
2 cups raw unpeeled grated zucchini
1⁄2 cup walnuts (optional, I did not add)
Fresh lemon Juice (I didn't try this yet but you could try adding a few tablespoons)
Glaze
1/2 freshly squeezed lemon~1 TLBS butter
Powdered Sugar (add enough to make it the consistency you want, mine was more thick than runny)
~1-2 TLBS Milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degree F.Grease and flour 2 loaf pans or use muffin tins. I personally loved the mini muffins I made.
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl.
Mixture will be very thick.
Pour equal amounts of batter into 2 loaf pans.
Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until done or depending on the pan you use adjust cooking time.
Poke small holes in the top of the bread and spread glaze over the top. Or you can wait till they are cool and do the same thing.
ENJOY this sweet morsel of goodness!



This one is super tasty! I was lucky enough to have Annette in my home for a personal tutorial and it turned out PERFECTLY!
