This coconut bread recipe, handed down by my boss, is one of my favorites. It is great as a breakfast muffin, snack, or with a meal. Everyone will love this. Feel free to make it your own. Add nuts, raisins, or coconut milk, or make it just how it is.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup shredded coconut

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup low-fat milk

  • ¼ cup water

  • ¼ cup canola oil

  • 1 ¼ teaspoons coconut extract (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter.

  2. Combine flour, sugar, coconut, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; stir once or twice with a wooden spoon. Add eggs, milk, water, oil, coconut extract, vanilla, and cinnamon; mix until well blended. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Tips

You may use brown sugar instead of white sugar or a mix of both.

You may substitute coconut milk for milk; omit coconut extract unless you want a strong coconut flavor.
