2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons fresh blood orange zest
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1 large egg
1/4 cup 1% organic milk
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh blood orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange extract [optional]
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
2-3 teaspoons coarse raw sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-by-4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, orange zest, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, coconut oil, and egg. Then stir in the milk, yogurt, orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange extract (if using).
4. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. Add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
5. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
