After working with gluten-free flour for nearly a year, there is one thing that I have learned. Sometimes recipes turn out horribly, and other times they turn out amazing. This coconut bread turned out better than I could have ever expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This coconut sweet bread is baked to perfection and loaded with coconut flavor. It has a cake-like structure; however, it is a quick bread like banana bread<\/strong><\/a>. You can eat this coconut sweet bread for brunch or breakfast with your coffee or after-dinner snack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coconut plays a significant role in Bahamian cuisine. We use it to make coconut tart, coconut duff, and coconut Jimmy. In addition to this, my grandmother would use shredded coconut to make coconut chocolate bars and red and white coconut bars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, what makes this bread Bahamian is the sugar. Bahamians love to add sugar bread, even if it is white sandwich bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Technically it isn’t real sugar, but you get the point. If the bread isn’t sweet, it just doesn’t taste right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I came up with this recipe, it was a savory keto coconut flour bread. The coconut bread recipe only called for 2 teaspoons of sweetener. However, I was not satisfied with the flavor when I tasted the recipe. So I figured why not add 1\/2 cup of sugar-free sweetener and shredded coconut and turn this regular old recipe into Bahamian coconut bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coconut food products have exploded because of their health benefits. For example, coconut oil contains hypocholesterolemic<\/a>, anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Coconut oil also has skin moisturizing properties. Therefore it is a popular ingredient in skincare products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer of people across the globe. Coconut oil contains high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids<\/strong><\/a>, which are associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Coconut flour can boost digestion, manage blood sugar<\/a> <\/strong>levels, and protect against diabetes. Coconut flour may also play a role in preventing cancer and stimulating weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Makes This Coconut Bread Bahamian <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
