Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Fold in 1 cup of pineapple chunks and 1 cup of shredded coconut. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Keywords: Experiment with flavors by adding 1 teaspoon of almond extract or mixing in some chopped nuts. Check your bread a few minutes before the recommended baking time to avoid overbaking. This sweet bread is delicious on its own, but try serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a smear of cream cheese for an extra treat.
