Raspberry Coconut Loaf
This loaf recipe is so quick and easy, it requires minimal effort and uses frozen berries and pantry staples. It can be whipped up on whim for a hungry household, surprise guest or the school lunchbox.
The adaptability of this loaf needs a special paragraph to itself. If you don’t have frozen berries, try some stewed apple, banana or even some soft stone fruits. Use any yoghurt you have in your fridge and wholemeal self-raising flour can be easily substituted for gluten-free, spelt or anything really. If you are using flour without a raising agent, make sure you add the required amount of baking powder.
Full of clean ingredients and only a small amount of rapadura for a touch of sweetness, this loaf is a healthier alternative to similar store-bought products. It is also a great substitute for the humble banana bread, which frequents most households. Super soft and bursting with delicious berries, this loaf is a snack everyone will love!
