Pineapple Coconut Bread

I love anything with pineapple, and this sweet pineapple coconut loaf is no exception.

Try this coconut bread recipe that is infused with a sweet pineapple flavor and you’ll feel like you’ve taken a trip to the tropics.

The pineapple and coconut flavors together combine perfectly for what will feel like a slice of cake, packaged into a sweet mini loaf of bread.

It’s easy to whip together in about 10 minutes, including toasting the coconut, making this recipe really easy.

And the toasted coconut, oh it’s so yummy!

Once the prep is ready, you’ll just bake it for 40 minutes for mini loaves or just over an hour for a full sized loaf. You can serve it warm as a dessert or for breakfast or store and serve in the next couple of days.

I love making bread in mini loaf pans. It cuts down the cooking time and makes them easier to share.

It’s perfect that I can make just one recipe and give a mini loaf to a neighbor or friend. Or, we’ll share the first loaf after it cools and still have leftovers untouched!

When you are longing to be in Hawaii – make up a batch of this Pineapple & Coconut bread and enjoy a mini escape from the daily routines.

You can enjoy this for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or as a side to Hawaiian meatballs.
