Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Can be swapped with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness that beautifully balances the tropical flavors.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent, ensuring the bread rises perfectly.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Another leavening agent for a light and airy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut Infuses tropical flavor and texture.

  • 2 large Large Eggs Binds the ingredients together and helps with rising.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances sweetness and adds depth.
