Luscious Coconut Bread

[TofuttiCutie123]

This recipe was delicious!!! I added some raisons and spread some Earth Balance on it and it was sooooo good, it's definitely staying in my recipe book. Thanks so much for the recipe!

YUMMY!  I pulled this bread out of the oven at 5:00 and it was gone by 6:00.  It is killer good!  Thanks so much for this great recipe.  It's a keeper!

Mmm...yummy! "Luscious" is indeed the perfect word for this bread -- it is very rich, so I could only eat a small slice at a time, but it is so good! I stole Kparsons idea and served with the the Ginger Peanut Soup on this site, and they complemented each other very well. My boyfriend declared this bread to be "amazing." I also topped it with additional toasted coconut, which is messy but good. Thanks for this recipe, I will definitely make it again. 5 stars!

P.S. I baked my bread for the recommended 45 minutes, and sure enough it was golden brown, but nonetheless it was slightly undercooked in the middle. It still tastes good to me, but I recommend letting it get more than just golden. I'll be aiming for 50-55 minutes next time. Of course, all ovens are different!

oh so good.  I made it as muffins and baked them for about 25 minutes.  also used whole wheat flour and more applesauce for the oil.  luscious, indeed.

I thought this was a great recipe.  I added a cup of dried cranberries and almond extract -- made 12 muffins.  They freeze very well.  Great for a lunch snack for the kids.

Hmmmmmmm, oh so yummy!! I love coconut and haven't had anything with it in forever.

I am famous for modifying recipes a lot, but for this one the only thing I did was :
- add about 2 tbsp more coconut (just because I bought a little more)
- topped it with coconut flakes (like a previous poster had done)
- used apple-strawberry sauce rather than plain apple sauce (because I was feeling adventurous)
- added one tablespoon liquid egg replacer (I did the same with my banana bread, and it's good, so I figured it's good in this too)

My oven sucks, so I added 40 degrees to the temp to a total of 390 degrees (that's how much I've been guessing that the oven is off) and it turned out perfect in the 45 minutes the recipe provided.

It tastes as good as it smells. I'll be adding this to my permanent recipe collection and WILL be making it again!

soooo good! i've eaten about 1/4 of the loaf already! my changes: used half ww/half unbleached flour, added almond extract in addition to the vanilla. I also baked it in a 9 x 5 bread pan and it only needed 30 minutes to be done. very tasty, will definitely make again!

These are delicious! I used half unbleached white flour and half whole wheat, replaced the egg with 1 teaspoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 1 tablespoon of water, and made them into 5 muffins. After 35min they had that light crispy top but were moist in the inside. 5 out of 5.

Okay, you need to grab onto the countertop when you eat this bread...it is so absolutely freakin' wonderful!! My changes: used 1/2 cup lite coconut milk and 1/2 rice milk, used 1 tablespoon garbanzo flour mixed with 2 tablespoons water, and only used about 1/4 cup sucanat. It was still plenty sweet enough. OMG this bread is insane. You MUST try it!! Thanks, I will be making this again and again! Next time with chocolate chips added...

oh WOW is this good stuff!  I made muffins and baked for 35 minutes.  Instead of vanilla, I used almond extract.  Delish!  What a great way to start the day!

I have made this twice already! So amazing! First time I made it was for the family, and they added whipped cream on top... and then for my parents friends! She LOVED it! I used 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup soy milk. Then I used Almond extract instead of vanilla!

I'm thinking when Christmas comes around, i'll make it for some people! 

Thank you!

this was really good!
I didn't add any sugar at all cause my coconut happened to be the sweetened variety. then I put a bit of organic strawberry jam on each slice. I also put some coconut on top of the bread to cook with.

I've had my eye on this for over two months and today I made it--after having stopped @ Trader Joe's for some toasted macadamias.

I used my favorite Tropical Isle fresh/frozen coconut and it took FOREVER to toast.  But it was worth the time.

Also added 1/2 of the aforementioned macadamias.  I was going to add some chopped dried pineapple too, but decided that would be just too crazy.  Now, glad I didn't bc I think it would have overpowered the subtlety of the coconut.  And it was subtle.  I'm thinking next time I might add some coconut extract or even coconut milk in lieu of the soymilk.

Also, used 1/2 soymilk/applesauce as I buy my applesauce in 4oz snack packs and didn't want an open one languishing in the fridge.  It was still DELICIOUS!

This is an excellent bread/cake and not too sweet.
