Coconut Bread

My sisters and I all have amazing in-laws.  And they’ve each brought something new to the table… Get it, TABLE! BWAHAHAHA (I’m hilarious)!  Okay, anyway, my middle sister’s mother in law introduced this AMAZING coconut bread to me years ago.  The first time I had it I was changed forever.  I love to make this bread.

this coconut bread is amazing, it's easy to make and tastes fantastic

In fact My sisters in-laws like bread so much they opened a bread store.  Actually the bought a well known franchise.  Then they added this coconut bread recipe to the menu, it was a huge hit.  SUCH a huge hit that the franchise added it to the menu for ALL the stores!  This is the original, straight from the source, recipe.

everyone loves this coconut bread with pecans. I like to toast it and add some cream cheese, but even plain it tastes amazing

I’ve made it with both sweetened and unsweetened coconut, and like it both ways.  My sister and her mother in law have always used sweetened coconut.  And it’s terrific.  If you want a less sweet version that still have great coconut flavor try the unsweetened shredded coconut. The unsweetened shredded coconut still has great flavor.  I go back and forth and use both depending on what I feel like.

the most delicious coconut and pecan bread you'll ever have

Whichever coconut you prefer to use I think it’s better with the smaller flakes so I’ll  throw the larger sweetened flakes in my food processor to shred it a bit before making this bread (or actually any recipe with coconut).  I love to cut a warm slice and top with whipped cream cheese.  The next day i like to toast it (and add cream cheese – seriously it might sound weird but it’s AMAZING).

this is the original recipe that they now sell at great harvest bread, its amazing and everyone raves over it

    Hi Ashlee,

    I must be a total dunce (or it could be that I’m sick and my meds have fogged my mind,) but I can’t find the actual recipe for your coconut bread. I see the pictures but not recipe. Help

    I have never been a fan of coconut until recently, and now I’m just starting to cook with it. Looking forward to trying this! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
