This final Progressive Dinner is all about bread recipes made with Nutiva Organic Coconut products. Nutiva carries many products like organic coconut flour, organic coconut oil and organic coconut sugar to name a few.
I don't have much experience baking with coconut flour but I decided to try my hand at making a coconut flour pumpkin bread recipe any way. If you are not familiar with using coconut flour then you may not know that coconut flour can not be exchanged for equal amounts of all purpose flour in a recipe.
Since I am so inexperienced in baking with coconut flour I decided it would be best for me to adapt a recipe instead of trying to come up with one from scratch.
I headed over to the recipe section of the Nutiva website for some inspiration. I found this Dark Chocolate Raspberry and Chia Banana Bread recipe that looked so good. I had all of the Nutiva products called for but I wanted to make a Pumpkin bread recipe instead of a banana bread recipe. I also wanted to use some of the Nutiva Organic Coconut Manna that I also had even though that ingredient was not included in the banana bread recipe.
I was just going to make the changes to the Banana bread recipe to suit my tastes and convert it to a pumpkin bread recipe and hope for the best.
For this Coconut Pumpkin Cranberry Bread recipe I used Nutiva Coconut Flour, Coconut Sugar, Coconut Oil and Coconut Manna.
Now you might be wondering what Coconut Manna is. Well Coconut Manna is pureed coconut butter that tastes so good and can be used in so many ways. The texture reminds me of tahini but the flavor is coconut.
One of the issues that can arise when baking with coconut flour is that your baked goods can be very dry. That was not an issue with this Coconut Pumpkin Cranberry Bread recipe. It turned out so moist. Possibly too moist for some people tastes. This Pumpkin bread recipe tastes so good that I ate three pieces when I sliced it. The next time I make it I may add another tablespoon of coconut flour to it but honestly the flavor is so good that I am afraid that might ruin it. There is no overpowering flavor of coconut that I have had when making a recipe with coconut flour. I've tried a few different coconut flours in the past that I did not like the flavor of. Not the case with the Nutiva coconut flour.
Try the recipe as is before you start making any changes. And if like me you think the flavor and texture is perfect the way it is enjoy it. Otherwise add a tiny bit more coconut flour and see how it goes.

So much I want to try! I love coconut butter and coconut flour, so I'd definitely want to restock on those (though Nutiva calls their coconut butter coconut manna). I'd never heard of the O'Coconut snacks though, those would be my top pick to try! https://store.nutiva.com/ococonut/

The thing I love about quick breads that are moist and dense is that the flavor continues deepening and intensifying as it rests. I love serving them chilled on the second day. I can tell from your photos that I would LOVE this luscious bread!
