Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter or neutral oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar and shredded coconut until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or neutral oil.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread light and tender.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve the Tahitian Coconut Bread on its own or with a smear of tropical fruit preserves or butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
