Notes
Always use room-temperature ingredients when baking with coconut oil.
When mixed with cold ingredients, melted coconut oil will solidify. The best way to prevent this from happening is to bring other ingredients, like milk and eggs, to room temperature before mixing ingredients together.
This recipe also works in a standard 9x4 loaf pan. Just bake for about 60 minutes.
