Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut and dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the coconut milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest, and whisk until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stir until the batter just comes together and no streaks of flour remain.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Coconut Cranberry Bread as is, or with butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
