Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs until they are light and frothy. Add 1.25 cups of milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 2 tsp of cinnamon. Stir in 1 cup of sugar until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture is just combined. Do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
Fold in 1 cup of coconut meat. Melt 1/3 cup of butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the batter. Mix until the coconut and butter are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the coconut bread as is, or with a touch of butter or jam. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to the recommended temperature to ensure even baking.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can result in a dense bread.
- Adding a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top before baking can add a nice texture and enhance the coconut flavor.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to avoid it falling apart.
Coconut bread is a versatile and delicious option that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Its rich, tropical flavor and moist texture make it a favorite for both family gatherings and quiet mornings at home. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven or toasted with a bit of butter or jam.
