Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, shredded coconut, chopped macadamia nuts, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze individual slices and reheat as needed.
