CARROT COCONUT BREAD
This is a really moist hearty sweet bread that my family loves. It is adapted from a recipe in the "More With Less Cookbook". I sometimes reduce the fat even more by using apple sauce instead of the oil, but I do like the texture the oil gives it. Also, you can add 1/2 cup chopped nuts if you would like. It gives it a nice crunch.

Steps:
- Make the carrot bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-inch mini loaf pans.
- Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add the hazelnuts and coconut.
- Whisk the eggs, melted butter, yogurt, vanilla and lemon zest (if using) in a medium bowl. Stir in the shredded carrots. Fold the carrot mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes for a standard loaf or 35 to 40 minutes for mini loaves. Cool 30 minutes in the pan(s) on a rack, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
- Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, milk and vanilla in a bowl. Pour over the cooled carrot bread and let set, 15 to 20 minutes.
GLUTEN-FREE CARROT COCONUT BREAD
Steps:
- Heat oven to 375*F. Coat an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loap pan with butter and dust with the flour; tap out the excess. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar until no lumps remain.
- Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, banana, and sour cream. Stir in the carrot and coconut. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 65-70 minutes. Cool the bread in the pan for 30 minutes. Turn out the loaf on a wire rack to cool further. Serve warm or at room temperature. Or cool completely, wrap, and freeze for up to 2 weeks
Tips:
- Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread and ensure that they don't overpower the other flavors.
- Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut will bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant. You can toast it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is golden brown.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your bread a more pronounced ginger flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Carrot coconut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a slightly sweet flavor. The combination of carrots, coconut, and ginger gives this bread a unique and irresistible flavor that is sure to please everyone.
