Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded unsweetened coconut, distributing it evenly through the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, brush the top of the loaf with honey for added sweetness before serving.
Slice and serve the Costa Maya Coconut Bread as-is or with a smear of butter. Enjoy!
