Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, grated or crushed
- 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (plant-based)
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare your wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine freshly grated pineapple, plant-based yogurt, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Stir these together gently to blend all the tropical flavors smoothly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar (natural), shredded coconut (plant-based), and the natural gelling agent. Ensure the mixture is well combined to evenly distribute the texture and rise enhancers.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the dry ingredient mix into the wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable with small visible bits of pineapple and coconut for texture.
- Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the bread cool slightly before removing from the pan.
- Rest and slice: Allow the Pineapple Coconut Bread to cool fully on a wire rack for the best texture. This resting period helps to set the flavors and moist crumb, making each slice tender and delicious.
Notes
- Use fresh pineapple for unbeatable moisture and sweetness.
- Mix batter only until combined to keep the bread light and airy.
- Ensure even oven temperature for consistent baking and avoid dry crust.
- Measure flour with the spoon-and-level method for accuracy.
- Fold in shredded coconut gently at the end to keep flakes intact and flavorful.
