Lemon-Coconut Quick Bread 3b

Hi there, friends! It’s Cathy again I’m so happy to be back here with you today, sharing this yummy Lemon-Coconut Quick Bread recipe! We love quick breads, especially for breakfast, and this one is just perfect for spring. It’s packed full of zesty lemon and toasted coconut and topped with a citrus honey butter that’s to-die-for. And best of all, my kids can’t get enough of it!

Making things my kids will love can sometimes feel like such a challenge…(am I the only one??)…and I can’t tell you the number of mornings I listen to them complain that they can’t find anything for breakfast. I typically run through all the options – bagels, toast, cereal, scrambled eggs, waffles, yogurt – at least two or three times before they finally settle on something. And let’s be clear – settling on something does NOT mean they’re happy about it!

I find that homemade breakfast options usually go over better than packaged, which I guess is a good thing. The only problem is that I never know what be a favorite and what will be a flop! What I do know is that this bread was a FAVORITE! Not only did all three kids like it, they couldn’t get enough of it…..meaning it’s been gone for a while now. And I definitely need to make more of it!

Of course, if you REALLY want  to  be  a hero, you’ll need to make the citrus honey butter to go with it. Because no bread is complete without its butter, am I right? Especially when it’s butter that’s been infused with honey, lemon and lime. The perfect butter for the perfect bread! Happy spring, everyone!

    Is it baking soda or baking powder used in the recipe? The ingredients say baking powder, but the instructions say baking soda. Not sure which to use… Thanks!

    I followed this recipe exactly and it turned out very dense and chewy, but it has a very good flavor.
