Coconut Bread

In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (including sugar) and the coconut.

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla, eggs, and oil.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until completely combined. This will be a thick batter.

Pour into a greased and floured large loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour, until the top is golden brown and crusty and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

This bread is dense and heavy, and just lightly sweet. I enjoy it warm from the oven, plain or with a little butter.

Because it is not overly sweet, you can top it with honey or jelly or ice cream or whatever you like. It’s delicious as a substitute for regular bread when making French toast.
