Coconut Pumpkin Bread

 

Nothing screams Autumn more than pumpkin, but what do pumpkin and coconut scream when they get together?  The combination of these two amazing flavors result in cool twist on pumpkin bread – and the secret ingredient – pudding mix- helps keep everything super moist. We’ve had this recipe in rotation at our house for several years and originally came from a wonderful friend at the office. The ladies I work with are phenomenal cooks and bakers, and they’re always more than happy to share their recipes.

This quick and easy bread is nothing more than mixing the wet and dry ingredients separately and then bringing everyone together in a big, happy bowl. This recipe make three loaves of bread, but can easily be doubled for freezing or gifting.  You can also make mini-loaves (cut the cooking time in half) very easily.

The secret ingredient!  Shhh…you won’t tell, will you?

Secret Ingredient

So moist and yummy! I think you could make this all year round. It could be tropical, right? Maybe add a little crushed pineapple to the batter – Pina Colada Pumpkin Bread?
