A few months ago, I stumbled upon the amazing Paleoliscious and made her coconut bread. It was by far the best coconut bread that I've tasted and we have made it many times since. As a few of you may be aware, I love all things chai so have adapted her recipe to create a yummy chai coconut bread....it is really deliscious!!!  This is perfect for all of you paleo-ers and allergy suffers. If you after a non-chai version drop by Paleoliscious and check out her recipe and while you're there, have a look at her other great recipes!!

Chai Coconut Bread
6  Free range eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons honey
3 cups of desiccated coconut
1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil or butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cardamon

Preheat oven to 160 degrees and line a loaf tin. Place coconut in a thermomix, blender or coffee grinder and blend until finely chopped (the bread will still work if you skip this step). In a large bowl, mix together the oil, vanilla, honey and eggs. Add the coconut and spices and combine well. Pour mixture into lined loaf tin and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from oven and leave to cool in tin on a rack for 5-10 minutes before removing from tin. This can be served plain or with butter, coconut margarine, jam or honey.

Hi Jane,
I can't see any chai seed added to the recipe... Not sure if there should be any chai seed, only because the name is 'Chai Coconut Bread'?
Though it looks wonderful, thought I just confirm anyhow :)
Thank you for the great recipe as usual.

Hi Jane,
I've finally got it!!!!!
Chai as in spice not Chia seed... how embarrassing
Forget my silly Chai seed question :)
For the last few days, I am keep looking at chia seed in the pantry and thinking about what I can do with them before it's too aged.
Actually that was the reason I started searching your recipe so when I saw Chai Cooconut, I had not doubt it was what I looking for... how silly am I?
I am definitely trying the recipe without chai seed lol
Thanks Jane.
