I made this vegan coconut lime loaf for my friend’s summer party last month. The coconut and lime made the kitchen smell tropical, and she said it was the best dessert she had ever served.
Easy Coconut Lime Loaf Recipe
This Vegan Coconut Lime Loaf features a moist and fluffy crumb infused with coconut milk and lime juice. The combination of sweet coconut and tangy lime creates a tropical flavor profile that is both refreshing and satisfying. The recipe requires about 60 minutes to prepare and bake and yields 8 slices.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
- Zest of 1 lime
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the coconut milk, lime juice, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lime zest.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the desiccated coconut.
- Bake the Loaf: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

I keep the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to five days. The crumb stays soft, and I let chilled slices come to room temperature for fifteen minutes before serving.
