Lemon Coconut Bread

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 large eggs

3/4 cups milk (lowfat is fine)

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp lemon zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup sugar

2 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

1/3 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in sugar and coconut.

In a medium bowl or a large measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in egg mixture. Stir until just combined and only a few streaks of flour remain.

Add in melted butter and stir until just smooth, being careful not to overmix.

Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Turn loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Makes 1 loaf.
