Instructions

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Pro tip: Line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Combine wet ingredients

In another bowl, mix the coconut milk, sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Combine mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pro tip: Overmixing can make the bread tough.

Fold in blueberries and coconut

Gently fold in the blueberries and shredded coconut into the batter.

Pro tip: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.

Transfer to pan

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Pro tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.

Cool

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on a rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
