Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (low sodium)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1/3 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, low sodium baking powder, and brown sugar until well combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine coconut milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce. Beat these wet ingredients together until they are well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with your spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your low sodium coconut bread either plain, or with your choice of toppings.
