\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I made the granola<\/a> last week, I ended up with a lot of extra shredded coconut. I tossed the bag into the fridge and yesterday morning, as I was rummaging for something that wasn’t cheddar bunnies to put in K’s lunch, I paused at the sight of so<\/em> much coconut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I powered up my ipad and skimmed through my go-to cooking site<\/a> (where the granola recipe originated as well), and voila, three posts in, a recipe<\/a> for coconut bread! And<\/em> I conveniently had all the ingredients in the house. It felt like kismet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I whipped it up and an hour and fifteen minutes later, I had an aromatic, golden loaf. I couldn’t wait for it to cool off completely and sliced right into it, releasing steamy puffs of fresh-baked goodness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Delicious. I brewed up my afternoon latte, plunked a couple of pats of butter on the slices and thoroughly<\/em> enjoyed my snack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I do have to mention that if you’re not a coconut lover, this is not for you. It’s a rich-but-not-too-heavy cake-y bread with minimal sweetness, and the coconut flavor really shines.<\/p>\n

The only changes I made were to replace part of the sugar with a 1\/4 cup of dark brown sugar and reduced the cinnamon to 1 tsp. It’s perfect. Recipe is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
