Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl and Utensils
  • 9x5 loaf pan

Ingredients

Bread:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (we used sweetened coconut shreds.)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tsp coconut extract (You can also use vanilla instead, but the loaf won't have as intense of a coconut flavor.
  • 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Glaze:

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp coconut extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly oil it. This will make for easier removal of the loaf later. 
  • In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients: flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  • Next mix in the wet ingredients: coconut milk, melted coconut oil, extract, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Once the mixture is evenly mixed pour it into the prepared loaf pan. 
  • Bake the bread for 50 minutes. Be patient and don’t open the oven before it ready. Doing this might cause a drop in temperature which will prevent your loaf from rising fully. 
  • Once the bread is done cooking let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove the loaf and let it cool on a wire cooling rack until completely cooled. This might take an hour on the counter, you can speed up this process by sticking the loaf in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. 
  • Once the loaf is cooled prepare the glaze by mixing all of its ingredients. Once mixed pour the glaze over the loaf.
  • Let the glaze set by placing the loaf in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  • When the glaze is set the loaf is ready to slice and serve.
