Oh, my how I love my sweets. I’ll incorporate sweet ingredients into anything that makes sense. And bread definitely qualifies.

In fact, that makes me think of the recent Peach Drink recipe I shared. Inspired by a dessert, by made as a drink. That’s just my style.

Because really, what’s life without desserts like these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, complete with an Oreo crust!

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.

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.

FAQ’S about this Pineapple Coconut Bread:

Q: Can I use fresh pineapple in pineapple coconut bread? 
A: Yes, you can use fresh pineapple. You’ll want to be sure to avoid all core areas and then mash it up with a food processor or fork. Then, strain out as much juice as you can.

Q: How do you make toasted coconut?
A: To toast coconut, just spread an even layer of sweetened shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, tossing occasionally. Then use it in this amazing Pineapple & Coconut Loaf recipe!

Q: I don’t like coconut, can I substitute it for something else in this Pineapple Bread? 
A: If you don’t like coconut, I would substitute in a favorite nut variety, instead. Maybe walnuts, almonds, or macadamia nuts. Or just leave it out all together. It will loose some of the texture, but still have great flavor.

    Janel, have you ever made it with fresh pineapple? How much would you use and do you think it would work? We love fresh pineapple!

      I haven’t, but I don’t think it would be a problem at all!! Just strain out as much extra juice as possible!

    I printed out another recipe, but I think I’m gonna try this one first because I like the idea of the sour cream in the recipe because it will probably make it super moist, plus I have some I need to use up! Thanks for posting!
