Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Stir in the shredded coconut and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your gluten-free coconut bread!
