The carrot coconut bread is one of the easiest quick breads that I have ever baked. What I like is that it is a one step recipe that combines all of the ingredients at once.
If you like quick breads that are easy to make then this one should be your go to favorite. The crunch from the nuts, the taste of carrot and coconut, the nutmeg and cinnamon all add to the richness of taste and color.
The ingredients are listed according to how they are added in the recipe which makes it easy to assemble, mix and bake.
