My favourite drive thru coffee shop has recently opened a store 5 minutes from my house and while it's all kinds of awesome that I can easily drive by and grab a coffee, it also means I'm regularly tempted to buy a slice of my favourite snack - Coconut Bread. After having a think about it, I realised it couldn't be that hard to make my own Coconut Bread, especially using my Thermomix!
After finding a recipe which was packed full of coconut, it took me less than 5 minutes to prepare the tin, ingredients and mixture for this Thermomix Coconut Bread recipe - in fact the longest part was waiting for the oven to heat up!

I decided to decorate my Coconut Bread Loaf with sliced strawberries, but this is totally up to you.
This recipe makes a BIG loaf, so make sure you use a large loaf tin. It's also freezer friendly which makes it an easy treat to pull out of the freezer whenever you are craving something sweet or have visitors drop by unexpectedly.

Lauren Matheson says
We appreciate your feedback Maria, I often still use my measuring jug when using my Thermomix, hence the mls in some of the recipes.

Oh no, just placed 300g of milk in, not the 300ml published. How many grams is 300ml? My thermomix is only in grams! Thanks
