Bake the coconut bread
- Transfer the batter to a greased loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until done. That is, a toothpick or knife when inserted, comes out clean. My oven took precisely 60 minutes.
- Allow it to cool down completely on a wire rack or pan even before you glaze the bread (atleast 2 hours).
Prepare the glaze

- Drizzle this on top of the bread and then garnish it with more toasted coconut flakes.

Notes
- You can substitute coconut milk with whole milk for a non-vegan version.
- You can use butter or vegetable oil instead of coconut oil.
- Also, you can toast and add nuts and chocolate chips for additional flavor.
- Do not overmix the bread batter.
- Quick breads crack on top, and it's completely normal.
- Based on the altitude, you may sometimes have to adjust the amount of flour and/or liquid to quick breads like these to avoid sinking at the bottom.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for best results.
