Delicious Coconut Bread Recipe – Easy, Moist, and Full of Flavor

This Easy Coconut Bread is soft, moist, and packed with coconut flavor. Topped with a sweet coconut glaze and toasted coconut flakes, it’s a tropical treat that’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (8-10 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened (for greasing the pan)
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup low-fat milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons coconut extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with softened butter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. Stir a couple of times with a wooden spoon to mix.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, water, oil, coconut extract (if using), vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until the batter is well combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. 

Notes

  •  If using coconut flour, replace only ¼ cup of all-purpose flour and increase the number of eggs to ensure proper texture.
  • Toast the shredded coconut before adding it to the batter for a richer, nuttier flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Warm slices in the microwave for 15 seconds before serving for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
