Like any quick bread, this recipe doesn’t require rising time.
Basically, you combine the ingredients like instructed, bake and let the kitchen fill with tropical aromas.
Tip: If you want to get fancy you can sprinkle some extra shredded coconut on the top before baking.
I used unsweetened coconut flakes from Trader Joes and I’m sure other stores carry them too. The extra sweetness isn’t necessary, but it’s probably a bit easier to find sweetened coconut flakes. I know our local Aldi even carries coconut flakes! My point is, either one will work.
