Last month I made a delicious and incredibly popular coconut bread. Impressed with how easy this was to make, I decided to make some alterations in an attempt to make it my own.
There are three things I did differently:
- Halved the milk quantity
- Replaced the remaining milk portion with coconut cream
- Added a handful of dark chocolate chips
I used PureBlends coconut cream powder in this dish. It’s really easy to use, you just mix the powder with warm water – as much as you like until you get the consistency you want.
These minor variations made a perfect dish even better! So here it is, my revamped version of coconut bread.
Chocolate chip coconut bread
3 eggs with egg replacer
150ml soy milk
150ml coconut cream
2 1/2 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup caster sugar
150g shredded coconut
75g melted dairy free butter
Handful of small dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180deg and grease a loaf tin.- Lightly whisk eggs, soy milk, coconut cream and vanilla together.
- In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Add sugar and coconut, stir to combine.
- Make a well in the centre and gradually stir in the egg mixture until just combined. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture is just smooth, being careful not to over-mix.
- Add the dark chocolate chips and fold through mixture.
- Pour evenly into loaf tin and bake for 1 hour.
- Leave in the tin for 5 minutes then remove to cool on a wire rack.
- Serve in thick slices, toasted and buttered and dusted with icing sugar.
What do you think, does this sound better to you? Or do you prefer the original? Give them both a try and see which one suits you!
As a lucky recipient of the revamped Coconut Bread- can i just say: yuuuumm! Definitely taking that recipe home with me…
Verified by a real life taste tester! Brilliant
Oh this version looks delicious! Glad you added some coconut milk for extra coconutty goodness
And choc chips… yum!
It’s totally rad! So. Much. Better.
This time if you make it, remember to take photos before you eat it!!
Hahaha I do that all the time. Ok next time I will make sure to photograph it!
Heck, yeah! Chocolate + coconut = one of my very favourite flavour combos. Can’t believe you managed to improve upon perfection! Nice work mate!
Ha, it was a total fluke!! It tastes amazeballs, you would love it
