Quick Bread Ingredients
To make a delicious Mexican coconut quick bread, you'll need the right ingredients. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.
You'll also need 2 teaspoons of baking powder, which will help the bread rise. A pinch of salt is also required, along with 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon. Vanilla extract and coconut extract or flavoring add a hint of flavor to the bread.

In addition to the dry ingredients, you'll need 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Melted butter is also a crucial ingredient, with 4 ounces needed for the recipe. Two eggs will help bind the ingredients together, and 10 ounces of milk will add moisture to the bread.
Finally, you'll need 1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut, which should be pulsed to a finer crumb-like consistency before adding it to the recipe.
Here's a list of the ingredients you'll need:
- 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp coconut extract or flavoring
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 oz butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 10 oz milk
- 1 1/2 c coconut, shredded (pulse process 1 cup to a finer crumb-like consistency)
Making Quick Bread
To start making Mexican coconut quick bread, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. This is the temperature you'll want to bake the bread at.
You'll need to grease a loaf-pan before adding the batter. This will help the bread release easily once it's done baking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. This dry mixture is the foundation of the bread.

Next, combine the butter, eggs, sugar, extracts, and milk in another medium bowl. This wet mixture will add moisture and flavor to the bread.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix just until all the ingredients are combined. Stir in the coconut for added texture and flavor.
Here's a list of the ingredients you'll need:
- 1 1/2 c all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp coconut extract or flavoring
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 oz butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 10 oz milk
- 1 1/2 c coconut, shredded
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf-pan and sprinkle 1 tbsp of sugar over the top. Bake the bread for 55-60 minutes, or until it's cooked through.
Additional Toppings
For a delicious Mexican bread with coconut flakes, you'll want to consider adding some extra toppings to give it that extra oomph.
To add a sweet and crunchy topping, try using 1/3 cup (65 g) of brown sugar. This will add a rich flavor to your bread.
If you're looking for a nutty flavor, use 1/3 cup (70 g) of coconut flakes or shredded coconut. I've tried this before and it adds a wonderful texture to the bread.
You can also use beaten eggs for brushing, which will give your bread a nice golden brown color.
