Ingredients

• 120 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 85 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 180 milliliters coconut milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bread.

Step 2

Spread the shredded unsweetened coconut evenly on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until lightly golden and aromatic, stirring halfway to prevent burning. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing as it can affect the bread's texture.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted coconut, reserving a small handful for sprinkling on top if desired.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved toasted coconut over the batter for a decorative touch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

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 before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the toasted coconut bread as is or with a spread of butter for added richness. Enjoy!
