Mini Coconut-Lemon Quick Bread is my recipe of the day for the blogging event Spring Sweets Week. Associated bloggers will be posting yummy recipes all week long in relation to this.
And there’s a giveaway (at the bottom of the post!)
This particular post is sponsored with product samples by both Circulon and Taylor & Colledge who provided the baking pan and also the extract paste used in this recipe.
The Circulon pan is nonstick and is the right size for doing this recipe. If you use another pan, be certain not to fill the baking cavity more than 2/3 full. Regardless of whether you use mini loaf pans or regular size loaf pans.
Even though it is nonstick, I still use release spray and rely upon the nonstick as extra insurance. That, combined with the accurate cool down time of 15 minutes will ensure your loafs slide out like butter.
Taylor & Colledge provided me with two types of extract paste. I used the lemon in this recipe. The extract paste has a creamy consistency not unlike the drizzle icing I made to go over the top. So you can be sure it mixes into the batter quite easily. It is used in the same proportions as regular extracts, so very easy.
