Lime Coconut Zucchini Bread

Recipe Description

This sweet and moist Lime Coconut Zucchini Bread is the zucchini bread lover’s ultimate dream. With shredded coconut, zucchini, Greek yogurt, lime juice and zest, and a good amount of lime glaze, this is sure to become a favorite. Perfect for dessert or as an afternoon snack that you and your family will enjoy.  

If you have ever wondered how do you make zucchini bread from scratch, here is the breakdown: First, wash, pat dry, and grate your zucchini. You do, yes, need to press the moisture out from the shredded zucchini. To do so, place the shredded zucchini inside some paper towels and squeeze the liquid out, then let it dry for a few minutes while you proceed with the recipe. Next, whisk together the wet ingredients. Then mix up the dry ingredients. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold in the zucchini, shredded coconut, and vanilla. Finally, scoop the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake until a cake tester comes out clean. For the lime glaze, mix the powdered sugar and fresh-squeezed lime juice together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the zucchini bread. Slice, eat, and enjoy!
