This vegan-friendly coconut bread was an experiment that turned out to be a resounding success. I was home alone on a Sunday and decided that baking would be a good use of my time. In doing so I made it my mission to use up some odds and ends that were in my store cupboard.
There was a little bit of coconut milk in the fridge and a little bit of desiccated coconut in the press and that is how my vegan-friendly coconut bread was born.
My colleagues approved. The proof being that by lunch time the whole loaf had been eaten! If you would like to see more vegan-friendly recipes, check out my free-from collection.
Hope you enjoy!
