Blueberry Coconut Loaf with Toasted Coconut Frosting is exactly that decadent fresh blueberry with sweet notes of coconut loaf you’ve been craving!

To say that this little loaf was a knock-it-out-of-the-ball-park hit with my friends and family would be an understatement!  Wowzers.  It’s just plain amazing!!  Fresh Blueberries with the shredded coconut and then add Amoretti’s Natural Toasted Coconut Cream Frosting on top and you’ll be totally speechless too.  REALLY.

Are you familiar with the Natural Extracts from Amoretti?  I’ve been trying a few in my kitchen over the past couple of weeks and let me tell y’all… they are completely delightful!  Amoretti has an amazing variety of high quality products for you to discover and enjoy!

Remember that the extracts are very concentrated so a little goes a long ways.  Start with 1/4 teaspoon and work your way up- tasting as you go!   I think they are fabulous for everything from savory to sweet!

You know how I love my sourdough starter- any excuse is good enough for me to get creating with it.  Jump in on the fun by getting a start of your own going…

Here’s a good sourdough started recipe from King Arthur Flour with some awesome tips and tricks for taking care of it.  It needs a little bit of love in the form of flour and water a couple times a week if it lives out of the fridge.  If you keep it in the fridge then once a week will do it!
