Pina Colada Zucchini Bread

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I'm not a huge zucchini bread fan, but this recipe is the exception. I didn't have any coconut or rum extract so I threw in some Rum and shredded coconut in it's place. I also used twice the amount of pecans the recipe called for. This recipe won first place at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. Recipe courtesy of Sharon Rydborn Tipton of Pennsylvania and Taste of Home. DELICIOUS!"

Can you use coconut instead oh coconut extract, which is hard to find?
