I've received many requests for this recipe. It's easy to make and just a little different from other quick breads I've tried.

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs and extract. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk, stirring just until moistened. Fold in coconut and walnuts.
Pour into two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 325° for 60-65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

This bread was very good. I didn't add the coconut extract and it was still good. I am going to make it again with the coconut extract.
