Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until well combined.
Mix in the coconut milk and vanilla extract with the egg mixture.
Slowly add the melted butter to the egg and coconut milk mixture, stirring constantly until incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the coconut bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the coconut bread as desired. It's delightful on its own or with a spread of butter or jam.
