Paradise by the Slice

One can never have too many variations on loaves of bread!  And this one did not disappoint.  It has just the right amount of sweetness for breakfast and the flavors are like paradise in bread form.  I did a combination of a few recipes I had seen from some of my favorite food bloggers and came up with a mixture of my own.  It's a perfect summer treat, whether you live in the tropics or not.
