Little loaves of coconut goodness.

No big intro needed for these sweet mini loaves.  Carrots and raisins are nicely complimented with the toasted coconut.  If you don't have toasted coconut on hand, don't fret.  Spread out your coconut in a pan over medium heat, keep it moving with a wooden spoon, and soon it will be golden!

1 cup shredded, toasted coconut, divided
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup raisins
