Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the pumpkin mixture. Beat well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Slice the Coconut Pumpkin Nut Bread and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
