Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Egg fruit (canistel) puree
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened coconut milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the egg fruit (canistel) puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of the Egg Fruit Canistel Coconut Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
