Coco Wheats Bread
A moist, sweet bread with coconut and nutmeats, perfect for breakfast or snack, offering rich flavors and a tender crumb that appeals to coconut lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak coco wheats in milk for 3 minutes.
- Combine Bisquick, brown sugar, and nutmeats in a bowl.
- Add the soaked coco wheats to the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is moistened.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have nutmeats on hand, feel free to substitute with chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. You can also use almond milk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free option. Make sure to check the doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when the bread is fully baked.
