My mother-in-law gave me this coconut bread recipe 20 years ago. It's one of my husband's favorite dishes to make for brunch.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This coconut brunch bread is perfect for any occasion. It's just like banana nut bread, only with coconut swapped for banana. The bread is dense and moist with a nutty flavor and crunch from walnuts. Pouring the coconut glaze over the warm bread allows it to seep into the bread and add sweetness to a bread that's not overly sweet. A delicious light dessert or a great addition to any brunch spread.

How To Make coconut brunch bread

Test Kitchen Tips

After the glaze cooled completely, we had issues getting the bread out of the Bundt pan. It's doable but difficult. We suggest letting the glaze absorb for about an hour. Then turn out the glazed bread and cool it completely.

Step 1

Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add sugar, oil, and coconut flavoring; blend well.
Step 3

Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4

Alternating with buttermilk, add dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
Step 5

Fold in flaked coconut and walnuts.
Step 6

Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan.
Step 7

Bake at 325 for 1 1/2 hours. Test that the bread is baked.
Step 8

After the bread comes out of the oven and while still in the Bundt pan, combine the sugar, water, and butter.
Step 9

Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 10

Remove the topping from the heat and add 1 teaspoon of coconut flavoring.
Step 11

Pour immediately over the warm bread and let stand for 4 hours before removing it from the pan.
