Rich, Chocolate Coconut Bread is topped with toasted coconut and filled with sweet chocolate morsels, makes a perfect breakfast or a snack anytime of day.
Last Wednesday morning I was really wanting bread for breakfast, but since I hadn’t planned ahead, it didn’t happen. So that afternoon, I got inspired and thought what if? I love chocolate and I love coconut. For the past few weeks now, an idea has been floating around in my mind, so I pulled out a ton of ingredients, mixed up this bread and viola – a new recipe was born!
If the smell of toasting coconut doesn’t get you, the finished bread will. It’s a rich, chocolatey, coconut filled loaf with sweet chocolate morsels throughout. As a breakfast or snack, this is one bread I am sure you will enjoy; happy baking!

Coconut Banana Bread I love brownies. They are probably my favorite baked good, I remember when my husband and I were planning our wedding almost 4 years ago and I seriously considered serving brownies and cupcakes. You probably already know my love for chocolate and muffins, so a recipe for brownie muffins should come as no surprise!   Thursday was book club day again, have I mentioned that I love having a reason to bake. I knew I wanted chocolate and muffins are quick, so I turned to my Brownie Points cookbook for guidance. This recipe is an adaptation of a muffin brownie cake, slightly healthier than the original, but equally as delicious. Chocolatey, gooey and delicious, served warm with a glass of milk, you'll be in dessert, I mean breakfast heaven. Enjoy and happy baking!Brownie Muffins 5 Minute Chocolate Lovers Granola | It Bakes Me Happy5 Minute Chocolate Lovers Granola Chocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast CookiesChocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies
