I don’t think y’all are going to be very surprised by this new quick bread flavor: Pineapple Coconut Quick Bread! Y’all know how much I love anything pineapple and coconut together… ::cough::cough::
Twinkie, Pineapple & Coconut Cake
We are hurricane prepping for Hurricane Irma making her way over to Florida. We have done all that we can (and fought all the crazies at the stores and gas pumps).
So now, all I have left to do is cook up some easy dinners that we can freeze and eat if we loose power. And bake…lots and lots of baking.
This morning alone I whipped up a batch of Nutella Banana Swirl Muffins for the girls with our overripe bananas and this loaf of Pineapple Coconut Quick Bread.
Besides being one of my favorite flavor combos ever, I also really love this bread because I always have the ingredients on hand.
I keep shredded coconut and crushed pineapple in my pantry all the time. They both store so well and I can whip up a quick dessert (or cocktail!) easily if guests show up unexpectedly.
Or you know, I get hungry. Either way, it works well for me!
This sweet Pineapple Coconut Quick Bread is full of fruity flavors and crazy easy to make. It doesn’t take much time to whip together using a mixer and into the oven it goes.
It’s perfect with a cup of coffee for breakfast or after dinner for dessert.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour (or line with parchment paper) a 9-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine butter, cream cheese and sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, vanilla extract and coconut extract, beat until smooth.
- Add in flour mixture and beat until well combined. Fold in can of crushed pineapple and 1 cup of coconut.
- Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle top with remaining coconut. Tent the pan loosely with foil and make sure to allow room for the cake to rise as it bakes. This will keep the coconut from burning.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely, slice and serve.
