It is starting to look like spring here in North Carolina! There is something about a warm sunny day that leaves me craving a fruity, sweet dessert. This Mojito Sweet Bread has such a fun, refreshing flavor. It’s loaded with both lime juice and zest as well as plenty of fresh mint leaves. With or without icing, this bread is perfect to pair with a glass of iced tea, lemonade, or maybe something a little more “adult”! Give it a try and let me know in the comments what you think!
