A moist and flavorful tropical loaf bread combining sweet pineapple and shredded coconut for a tender, island-inspired treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (80 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned crushed pineapple, drained
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • Toasted coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and shredded coconut.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and drained crushed pineapple.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top if desired.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Drain pineapple well to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs and yogurt for better mixing. Fold batter gently to keep crumb tender. If crust browns too fast, tent with foil for last 10-15 minutes. Cool completely before slicing to prevent gummy texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free yogurt.
