Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder (low sodium)
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1/3 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, low sodium baking powder, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine coconut milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce. Beat these wet ingredients together until they are well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with your spatula.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Enjoy your low sodium coconut bread either plain, or with your choice of toppings.
