How To Make zucchini coconut bread (my new favorite)

Step 2Combine wet ingredients in a large bowl.
-
Step 3Slowly, start to incorporate dry ingredients with a hand mixer.

Step 5Squeeze excess liquid from the zucchini.
-
Step 6By hand, stir in zucchini, nuts (if using), and coconut.

Step 7The mixture will be thick.
-
Step 8Combine streusel ingredients.
-
Step 9Pour 1 1/2 cups of batter into each pan.

Step 10Top each with 1 Tbsp of streusel. Then add 1 1/2 cups more batter to each pan and top each with another 1 Tbsp streusel.
