Coconut Bread

This easy Coconut Bread Recipe is drizzled with a sweet coconut glaze and sprinkled with toasted coconut. It’s a coconut lover’s dream! My friends, there are few things in this world that I love more than coconut. So it is no surprise that I can’t get enough of this coconut bread.

Recipe Rundown:
Texture: It’s like the perfect mashup between a quick bread and a tropical cake.
Taste: Mildly sweet and coconutty – It has a warm, tropical coconut flavor that’s cozy without being overpowering.
Ease: Coconut bread is super easy to make, especially since it’s usually a quick bread (no yeast, no rising time).
Why I love it: This coconut bread is the kind of simple comfort I can never get enough of. It’s soft, moist, and packed with that subtle, sweet coconut flavor that makes every slice feel like a little tropical escape. I love how easy it is—no yeast, no fuss, just mix, bake, and enjoy.

Ingredients:
Bread:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup butter – room temperature
2 large eggs
¾ cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sweetened coconut
Glaze/Topping:
⅓ cup toasted coconut
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1-2 tbsp unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions:
Bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir & set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla. Whisk well until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in the coconut. Transfer to a greased loaf pan. Bake 45-55 minutes or until the toothpick test is clean. Let the bread cool on a wire rack in the pan until it reaches room temperature before adding the glaze and removing it from the pan.
Glaze: Whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and milk, starting with just 1 tbsp and increasing up to 2 tbsp – until you reach your desired consistency. Some like it thin enough to soak in and others like it thicker like frosting. Pour or spread the mixture on top of the cooled bread. Sprinkle with toasted coconut before slicing and serving.
