Recipe Intro From thehealthyhazelnut

Coconut. Carrot. Cake. Banana. Bread. Basically my favorite words all in one little loaf pan. This is the kind of dessert that I would make and pop an extra loaf in the freezer for a rainy day or unexpected visitors.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cup all purpose gf flour
1 tsp baking soda (@bobsredmill )
1 tsp cinnamon (@simplyorganicfoods )
1/2 tsp salt
2 ripe bananas
1 cup shredded carrots
1 egg or flax replacement 
1/3 cane sugar
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup vanilla dairy-free yogurt 

Glaze:
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup yogurt


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F.

In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
 
In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, combine banana, sugar, egg, yogurt, vanilla and carrots until well blended.
Add in your coconut oil. Slowly add in flour and blend. Once mixed well, add in coconut and walnuts. Transfer to a greased loaf pan.

Bake for 45 - 55 minutes or until pick comes out clean.

For the glaze, mix glaze ingredients with a hand mixer. Pour slowly over cooled bread and sprinkle with additional walnuts.
