Coconut Pumpkin Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Pumpkin Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans and give them a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, and your choice of vegetable oil or melted butter.

4. Step 4

   Mix these together until they’re well blended, then add in the eggs one at a time, stirring until everything is nicely incorporated.

5. Step 5

   Next, introduce the star of the show: pumpkin puree.

6. Step 6

   Stir it in until the mixture is smooth and inviting.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and your favorite spices—think cloves, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg for that warm, autumnal flavor.

8. Step 8

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, alternating with a splash of water.

9. Step 9

   Stir gently until just combined; remember, we want to keep it tender, so avoid overmixing.

10. Step 10

    Now, it’s time to fold in some flaked coconut and chopped walnuts, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter for delightful texture and flavor.

11. Step 11

    Once everything is mixed, divide the batter evenly between your prepared loaf pans.

12. Step 12

    Slide them into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 60 minutes.

13. Step 13

    You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

14. Step 14

    After baking, allow the loaves to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the first slice of your homemade pumpkin bread!.
