Mexican Coconut Quick Bread image

I love, love, love quickbread! (Did I mention 'love'?) This coconut variation is awesome-chewy and moist.:) I like to also mix it up by adding 1/4 cup of lemon juice and a tsp of lemon zest-lemon goes surprisingly well with coconut! No matter which way you like it - Enjoy!
