Dark Chocolate, Coconut and Sunflower Seed Panettone
 
recipe adapted from Savory Flavors
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup superfine sugar
  • 5 ounces flaked coconut
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat an oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla seeds. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the sugar and coconut. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and slowly add the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the melted butter, sunflower seeds and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Grease and flour a 8-by-4-inch loaf pan or individual panettone or muffin liners. Pour in the batter and bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is golden and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, around 1 hour or 20-25 minutes for individual liners. * Make sure to fill batter ¾ to the top of your panettone liners so you get a nice raised loaf of bread peaking out of the top.
