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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and crushed pineapple until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture and gently stir until just combined, careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
