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.

    I love cherry and chocolate together, and this looks so moist and yummy! It’s funny how even if I know something doesn’t taste good I’m kinda hurt when my hubby tells me, and I start defending it anyway 🙂 Our recipes are kinda like our children sometimes!!

    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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
