Coconut Bread

Lack of sweets in the house is definitely a bad thing. For the past week, I've been milling around the kitchen in the evening looking for a sweet snack. I had a big bag of flaked coconut in the fridge and I didn't want it to go to waste.

After searching for sweets with coconut, I settled on a recipe for coconut bread from allrecipes. I added 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract to the recipe for a little extra flavor. Some of the reviews recommend using coconut milk instead of whole milk but I couldn't find any coconut milk when I was at the store. I assume that Mega or Jumbo would probably have it though.

So, I baked the bread, let it cool, chopped off the end and sampled my work. Pretty tasty. The bread was medium density, had a light coconut flavor, and wasn't overly sweet. I think the next time I make it, I'll throw in some chocolate chips

I don't know what speaks more for how great this bread was, that I put it on my grandma's china or that I ate three slices before I put it away. Don' blame me though. I cut two slices to take a picture and I couldn't let them sit there until Kim got home. It was either me or the cats.
