I adapted this recipe from an Australian site, and ever since I keep doing this loaf because it is so easy and quick to prepare! The coconut provides such a silky texture and the blueberries all their freshness. A winning combination! —bonheurcuisine

What kind of coconut milk? Can almond or cashew be substituted?

This sounds wonderful and I want to try it soon. One question, should the coconut be finely ground?
