Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Pineapple juice (for optional glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded sweetened coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple, coconut milk, vanilla extract, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula. Avoid overmixing; stir just until no dry spots remain.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing (if using).

Step 9

For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf.

Step 10

Slice and serve. Enjoy the tropical flavors of your Pineapple and Coconut Bread Loaf!
