Coconut Bread with Lime Glaze

Notes: this bread is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. It could work as a dessert, sweet snack, or for breakfast/brunch. 

Makes 1 medium sized loaf. 

Bread:
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly

Glaze:
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8x4 inch loaf pan.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Set aside.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in sugar and coconut. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and slowly add the egg mixture, stirring until combined. Fold in the melted butter and coconut oil, being careful not to over mix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until the loaf is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool about 10 minutes, then remove from pan and place  on a wire rack. Cool until just warm.

Whisk lime juice and powdered sugar together until well combined. Drizzle over warm bread. Allow glaze to set up, then serve.
