Yesterday after lunch it started to rain and I wished it was winter already and I could make a quick bread and have some tea. My wish did not come true, it actually just became more humid! Like I needed that.
I went ahead and made the bread- Carrot Coconut Bread. Making the bread was an impulse decision so I went with the ingredients I had in the house. I love making quick breads, they are fast and easy.Most contain vegetables and or fruits so you feel good about eating them as well.
This bread is super moist and delicious.
