The pineapple coconut bread loaf with a few slices ready to be enjoyed

Follow these tips for using coconut oil in your baking:

  • Unrefined coconut oil has a strong coconut flavor that will come through in baked goods. If that doesn’t appeal to you, use refined coconut oil.
  • You can substitute it 1:1 for other fats (shortening, vegetable oil, butter, etc.)
  • When using it as a substitute, use it in the same state called for in the recipe— melted, softened or solid

Try coconut oil in yeast breads, quick breads, muffins, cakes, pancakes, cookies, brownies, and more!
