Peppermint Mocha Loaf

Peppermint mocha is my most loved flavor when it comes to Winter! I am a coffee lover by default so add in the word “mocha” and I am there!  

This Peppermint Mocha loaf satisfies all your coffee & peppermint desires but in a bread with a delicious Greek yogurt frosting, healthier ingredients & SO easy to make!  

I create all of my loaf recipes so that they freeze well because I am baking and making food so often, that there is no way our house can eat it all before it goes bad! This loaf will freeze perfectly so you can save it for a rainy (or snowy) day .
