Pina Colada Hawaiian Bread

Pina Colada Hawaiian Bread – loaded with juicy pineapple and chewy coconut, this easy quick bread is a scrumptious tropical treat!

Summertime and pina coladas just go hand in hand, don’t they? I love the refreshing flavor of pineapples and coconut. Of course they are best enjoyed while relaxing on the beach, but sometimes we just have to imagine we are in a tropical paradise. 😉

This Hawaiian bread is a favorite from my childhood. My mom made it all the time, and me and my five siblings would gobble it up as soon as it came out of the oven. So yummy!

I have not made this recipe in years, but I found the recipe card in one of my cookbooks and just had to whip up a batch. When I was little, my favorite way to enjoy it was toasted with some butter. I tried it that way this time, and it was a little trip down memory lane. A very tasty trip. And since there is no added fat in the bread, you don’t have to feel so guilty when you slather in butter. Yay!

We have moved into a new house and I am not used to the oven yet, so I did overcook this batch. It is not usually this brown. It was still tasty, but not as moist as it always it. So make sure you don’t cook yours too long!

This recipe makes three medium sized loaves, so you can share some with a friend, or wrap them up tightly and freeze them for another day.

• 1 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Whisk together pineapple (with juice), coconut, eggs, and sugar till well combined. Stir in flour, soda, and salt.

Notes

There is no typo, this recipe has no added fat. The oil in the coconut and the pineapple keep it nice and moist.
