Hawaiian Coconut Pineapple Bread Recipe

May be an image of text that says 'Hawaiian Banana Bread 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs 1 cup crushed pineapple (do not drain)'

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with coconut milk in 2–3 additions.
Mix on low speed just until combined; do not overmix, or the bread will become dense.

Step 6: Fold in Tropical Flavors

Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut with a spatula.
Ensure they are evenly distributed but avoid overmixing.

Step 7: Transfer to Pan and Top

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top for a golden, toasty finish.

Step 8: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice thick or thin, and enjoy the tropical flavors!

Tips for the Perfect Hawaiian Coconut Pineapple Bread

Drain the pineapple well – Too much liquid can make the bread soggy.
Room temperature eggs and butter – This helps create a smoother batter and lighter texture.
Optional glaze – For extra sweetness, mix powdered sugar with a bit of pineapple juice and drizzle over the cooled bread.
Storage – Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. It also freezes well.

This Hawaiian Coconut Pineapple Bread is soft, sweet, and filled with tropical flavor in every bite. Perfect for summer mornings, potlucks, or simply a treat to transport yourself to a Hawaiian paradise!
