Easy Coconut Loaf Recipe

We’ve been making this easy Coconut Loaf recipe for years and it’s still one of our favourites!

During the last school holidays my lovely Mum came up to visit us for 10 days, in part to help celebrate baby boy’s first birthday but also to spend the second week of the school holidays with our two older boys.  We had so many fun things planned (plus A LOT of baking) however just a few days after the birthday celebrations, our four year old came down with a nasty case of gastro (which required a hospital stay) and the rest of the kids plus my husband quickly followed. Thankfully Mum and I stayed well (albeit run off our feet) and each night once everyone was in bed we would treat ourselves to something yummy to eat.  This easy Coconut Loaf was one of our favourites and between us we managed to polish the entire loaf off in just a few days!

Thankfully because this recipe only needs half a tin of coconut milk, we had the perfect excuse to make another loaf to help us get through what was a loooooong week.

Given neither of us had much self control, I popped half of the loaf into the freezer and have just taken it out last week for an after school treat for the kids.  Both of the older boys love it and have put in a request for me to make it again.
