Coconut Toast is a deliciously sweet and gooey treat that combines the rich flavors of butter, sugar, vanilla, and flaked coconut spread over slices of bread and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 12 slices of bread (white or sandwich bread works well)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, flaked coconut, and beaten egg. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy, sugary batter.
  2. Spread on Bread: Arrange 12 slices of bread on an ungreased jelly roll or cookie sheet pan. Spread the coconut mixture generously and evenly over each slice, covering the entire surface of the bread.
  3. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the toast is lightly browned on top and the coconut mixture forms a slightly crispy layer.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the coconut toast warm for the best experience. The top will be crispy while the inside remains a delightful gooey texture similar to coconut pie.
  5. Optional for Sharing: This recipe is great for sharing at gatherings or breakfasts. Leftovers can be enjoyed later; although the gooey texture fades, the coconut toast remains flavorful and delicious.

Notes

  • Use an ungreased baking sheet to prevent sticking and to allow the coconut topping to crisp properly.
  • For extra crunch, consider toasting the bread lightly before spreading the mixture.
  • This recipe can be doubled or adjusted depending on the number of servings needed.
  • Best enjoyed warm but still tasty when cooled.
  • Flaked coconut can be sweetened or unsweetened according to preference.
