Most heavenly healthyish persimmon bread! So soft, moist and most importantly amazingly delicious persimmon bread made with ripe fall persimmons, greek yogurt and coconut oil.
You guys… this bread is a MUST try!
Ultra soft, moist and so delicious. ADDICTIVE.
The combo of persimmons and coconut oil is magical. In fact, there are no flavorings in this bread – like vanilla extract, ground cinnamon.
Enjoy plain or with a smear of salted butter (Mmm…)
PS. For those unfamiliar with persimmons, they are basically the best that this fall season has to offer. Just sayin’.

Thank you Heather, that combo makes it darn tasty:)
I have never used persimmon to bake before, and this looks so delicious Maria. I really have to try this out this recipe….pinning this recipe to bake and adding persimmon to my grocery list.
Thank you Ashika:)
Such a great alternative to banana bread! Thank you for the amazing idea!
You are so welcome:)
I’ve only ever just eaten persimmons plain. I need to try this bread to mix things up a bit!
Thank you Kelsie:)
The best use of persimmons. I love this recipe and soon I will try this.
Thank you so much:)
There’s no sugar in your recipe is the bread savory ?
There is 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar listed. It’s second to last on the ingredient list. Hope it helps.
Just made this and its AMAZING! My mom has a persimmon tree and I was searching Pinterest for something to make with all the persimmons she gave me!
Thank you!!!
So glad you liked it:)
Delicious!!! I don’t use coconut oil so instead I used canola oil. I also added 3/4cup coconut and vanilla extract. Since I want my friends to try it I made muffins.They are so light and tender. Thank you!
So glad you loved it:)
I can’t wait to try this bread. Did you peel the persimmons prior to grating? Thank you!
No, since we use very firm persimmons, you grate them unpeeled.
