Coconut Pumpkin Bread Recipe

It's been Fall for a few months now, but it really hasn't felt like it until the last week or so. Sure people were running around with sweaters on and drinking Pumpkin Spice Lattes all around me, but I didn't really pay attention to it all until about a week ago when my middle child asked about pumpkin bread. 

Aside from football, and the chance to break out my favorite leggings, pumpkin bread season is my favorite part of Fall. I like any kind of pumpkin bread and I'm not discriminatory about what time of day I eat it in. 

Breakfast? Breakfast of champions obviously.

Dinner? It has fruit in it right? Vegetables? Either way totally qualifies as dinner. 

Dessert? Absolutely! 

Pumpkin bread is the universal Fall meal we all need in our lives. 

Carrie Beth has an awesome pumpkin bread recipe that is out of this world. I also have a chocolate pumpkin bread recipe I love. But my favorite has to be when I make this Coconut Pumpkin Bread. 

My love runs deep for pumpkin. But coconut is my love language. 

Combining the two flavors together? Well...let's just say I have to make several loaves because otherwise I wouldn't be open to sharing. 

I make it with or without the frosting, but the coconut cream cheese frosting does make a tasty addition. 

Give it a try and you'll be ruined of all other pumpkin breads.
