Coconut Bread

 


My New Years plan is to keep things simple in 2026!  Life is full and that is a blessing but there are somethings that just don't need to be so complicated.

When I saw this recipe, the first thing I thought was that I have all but one ingredient already in the house!  It was meant to be!  I hope that you love this as much as I do!  Simple and oh so delicious!

You'll need:

2 cups self-rising flour (I prefer White Lilly)
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 eggs 
1 stick butter or 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup softened
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract (could use vanilla extract instead)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup of sweetened flake coconut

Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.  Cream sugar, butter and eggs in a mixing bowl.

Pour in flour mixture along with buttermilk and coconut extract and continue mixing until all ingredients are wet. Gently fold in the coconut flakes.

Sprinkle coconut and a little extra white sugar on top of the loaf before it goes in the oven for added texture and it looks great that way.  Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray and bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes until center tests done.  Makes 1 loaf.
