We all make mistakes. Sometimes big mistakes.
Mine was also big. A BIG pack of coconut flakes.
Now, if you know how to use it up, then it’s not a problem. But if you are short of ideas, the bag will totally weigh you down.
Thank God for the internet and the problem isn’t that big anymore. It’s one cup short now and I am taking it cup-wise now a days.

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg

- In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg, milk and vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just incorporated.
- Fold the coconut flakes and transfer the batter into the loaf pan.

I always have a bag of coconut flakes in my refrigerator and so never consider it a mistake though there are other things that come under that category in my home. By the way that coconut loaf idea is tempting me.
