If you want to cook this in a microwave, spray or oil two little dishes and microwave for 90-ish seconds.
Healthy Coconut Bread
- 2 cups flour (see note)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup sugar, or xylitol for a sugar-free alternative
- 1 cup canned coconut milk, lite or regular
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt of choice, such as almond milk yogurt
- optional coconut chips, to sprinkle on top
The recipe works with spelt, white, oat, or gf all-purpose flour. It technically works with almond flour as well, but won’t rise or look top pretty. Be sure to use canned coconut milk, not the type in a carton.
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and line with parchment. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Whisk in remaining ingredients until just evenly mixed and spread them into the pan. Bake for 50 minutes on the center rack or until the loaf has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before going around the sides of the pan with a knife and inverting it onto a plate. If desired, frost with melted coconut butter or your favorite frosting, or 1/2 cup of powdered sugar combined with 1 tbsp milk of your choice.
