Quick breads are one of my favourite treats! They are so easy to make! You pretty much just mix all of the wet ingredients, mix the dry ingredient, mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and bake in a pan! Even though they are super quick and easy to make, there are near limitless flavour combinations and the one that I am currently crushing on is this lemon and coconut bread. This bread layers on the coconut flavours with coconut oil, coconut sugar, coconut extract, coconut yogurt and coconut flakes and the lemon is represented with lemon zest and lemon juice. This lemon coconut bread is amazing all by itself and I also enjoy it topped with a coconut and lemon flavoured cream cheese frosting. I like to make this bread on the weekend and enjoy it then and the leftovers are great during the week, whether for breakfast, dessert or snacks!
