This bread is a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I used a gluten-free flour blend to make this bread and it turned out really well. It was a little denser than the regular version, but it was still very moist and flavorful.

I made this bread in a loaf pan instead of a bundt pan and it turned out great. It's a very versatile recipe.

This bread was a little dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time, maybe some milk or yogurt.
