Mango and Coconut Bread

ᛎ Jump to recipe

This loaf really is a blast from my past. My first ever job was at Gloria Jean’s and I remeber the sweet bread (loaf) line up like it was yesterday. There was banana bread, pear and raspberry and this mango coconut loaf which was probably the lesser popular one tbh. 

This was a nostalgic bake that’s for sure. For all the times I would open up early in the morning, slice the loaf and eat way too many off cuts than I care to admit. 

I tried to simplify the recipe as much as possible, and in my initial test bake I used desiccated coconut but I prefer the shredded. Both of which work amazing in this loaf. 

Happy baking.
