Chocolate Cherry Coconut Bread

June 29, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Yah it’s Friday!!!  As a special treat I made the most delectable quick bread for you!  It’s rich, chocolaty, filled with fresh cherries and tastes like your biting into a brownie.  It’s simply delish!!!

I made my normal 3 mini loafs so Hubby can take them to work and I asked him what he thought about the bread and he said ohhh, that was good!  Yah! Another success!  Sometimes I’m bias of my own recipes, because I know of all the thought and care I put into it, that I think they are automatically tasty. Plus I cut back on sugar and now I don’t notice things when there not sweet enough for the average person.  My Husband is one who likes it sweet!  I felt this bread had the perfect balance of sweetness, especially with the cherries.

I will tell you a secret, this past week, I made a Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread.  I thought this is going to be the best thing ever. I had all these grand ideas of creating it and eating it.   Well guess what?  It turned out awful!  Ugh!  What a waste of jam and peanut butter!  When it came out of the oven it tasted good, but a few hours later, it was just horrible.  I didn’t realize how bad it was until my Husband took it to work and he said the bread was terrible.  I felt sad, but I knew it tasted like crap!  Funny how I’m sensitive to things like that, when I knew it didn’t taste good.  Crazy!


So are you getting sick of me posting cherry treats?  Sorry, this is the last cherry recipe I have in my recipe index, but I figured since it’s cherry season, I felt the need to share it with you.  However if you make this bread, you may not want to share it!!  I have to show you how moist it is.

I made this bread using Chobani Greek Yogurt, unsweetened coconut milk and fresh cherries.  This bread does not contain any oil or butter.  I can’t believe how moist it is without oil!  I bet you could heat this bread up in the microwave and top with some vanilla ice cream or whip cream and call it dessert!  I should have done that!

The calories came out pretty low, coming in at 86 calories a slice.  I figured 15 slices to a large loaf or 5 slices per mini loaf.  The slices are pretty thick!  This bread also contains 1 gram of fat and only 16 carbs.  I am pretty happy with the stats of the bread!  Taking a bite of it tastes like I’m having a treat!!  Since I made three mini loafs I froze two of the loaves and kept one out for nibbling on.  I know I mentioned it before but freezing bread is one of the best things ever!  Just take it out the night before or in the morning.  It defrosts pretty quickly.

I was bad and skipped out on exercise yesterday, so I need to do something today, even though it’s getting late, so I’m going to shuffle off.  Oh and my Husband just made a pound of bacon and it smells so darn good that I need to get out of the house fast!  So off for a brisk walk I go.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Toodles,

Jen

    Hi Jennifer, I love this recipe! I want to send it to my sister; my 2 1/2 year old nephew has gluten intolerance. Would you be able to recommend substituting the flour? Thank you! x

      Hi Jaime,

      I am not the best person to ask about gluten free flours, but my guess is that oat flour would work out great in this bread. Maybe even coconut flour. To make oat flour just take old fashion oatmeal and process in your food processor until it turns to a flour texture. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

    It’s nice that your hubby is honest with you. I really appreciate that because so many people will tell you something is good when it’s really not – so you KNOW when he says it’s good, it really is! Of course with cherries, chocolate and coconut, how could you go wrong? Sounds wonderful!

      Sometimes my Hubby is a little too honest for me. lol I kow I do not like to hear people say they didn’t like something I made, but I’d rather know that, then to keep serving it, thinking it’s good.

    Yum! I made it tonight with a few altercations b/c of what I had! I used 2 flax eggs, 1 T coconut oil because I had no coconut extract and I thought it would be good! Also, I used the Silk carton coconut milk not canned (I wans’t sure which kind to use) and I used regular sugar. So good! Thanks!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great!

Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
