Coconut Bread

One of my favorite things to taste - coconut. I love coconut. And the best part about living in this household and loving coconut - NO ONE else in this house likes it! So when I make something with coconut, buy something with coconut, or am gifted something with coconut, it is ALL MINE!

Here is a wonderful recipe for Coconut Bread!



Coconut Bread

1/2 C. canola oil
1/2 C. unsweetened coconut cream (or coconut milk)
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract
1 1/4 C. flour
3/4 C. sugar
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1/2 C sweetened flaked coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 loaf pan.

In a small bowl, whisk canola oil, coconut cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until blended.

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and flaked coconut and mix well. Add wet ingredients from small bowl, and mix just until combined - do not overmix.

Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on baking rack (I took mine out of the pan after 10 minutes). When completely cooled, cut into slices. Store in airtight container.
