Coconut Zucchini Bread

I can't believe Day 5 has arrived.  Thank you for joining me as I shared a week's worth of zucchini bread recipes.  To close out the week, I saved the best for last - this Coconut Zucchini Bread is crazy good and I can't be trusted not to eat the entire loaf.  For those who like the flavor of coconut, but not the texture, fear not - the coconut is finely ground so you won't detect any stringy bits.  To see other zucchini bread recipes, click on the links below:
