Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Coconut Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and unsweetened shredded coconut until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and crushed pineapple until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
