instruksies
- Verhit die oond tot 180 °C (350 °F). Voer 'n 9 x 6 cm broodpan uit met 'n stuk bakpapier. Spuit liggies met kookolie en sit eenkant.
- In a large bowl, add canned crushed pineapple, pineapple juice, melted, cooled coconut oil, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine.
- Fold in sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut if used. Stir again until a thick cake batter forms.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
- Bake the bread on the center rack of the oven for 50-60 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until golden brown, and a long skewer inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. You can foil the top of the pan after 40 minutes to prevent it from burning too fast.
- Let it cool down for 10 minutes in the pan at room temperature, then on a rack for 3 hours or overnight before slicing.
Notes
Voeding
Bestanddele en vervangings
You only need a few wholesome ingredients for this recipe. Here’s how to pick them.

- Gebreekte Pynappel – This provides the signature pineapple flavor and moisture to the bread. Using crushed pineapple (with minimal juice) ensures the bread firms up properly. Fresh pineapple works, but it needs to be crushed and squeezed.
- Pynappelsap – This intensifies the pineapple flavor. Lime juice also works well for a tangy variant.
- Gesmelte klapperolie – This adds moisture and a subtle coconut flavor. Other light oils, like olive or canola, are also suitable.
- Kokosmelk – This contributes to the moist, fluffy crumb. Light, packaged coconut milk is recommended. Almond or oat milk also works, but the coconut flavor will be lost.
- Vanielje-ekstrak – This enhances the overall flavor profile.
- Suiker – This sweetens the bread. Coconut sugar, unrefined cane sugar, or brown sugar are suitable alternatives.
- Meeldoelige meel – This forms the base of the bread. Almond or oat flour are not suitable. For a gluten-free version, use my glutenvrye omskakelingsgids.
- Bakpoeier – Dit help die brood rys.
- Sout – This balances the sweetness.

Let me share a few more tips for the best sweet bread:
- Fresh Pineapple Precision – When using fresh pineapple, crush it in a food processor and measure the squeezed crushed pineapple, not the juice.
- Coconut Boost – Add 1/3 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut for a pineapple-coconut flavor.
- Coconut Alternatives – If you dislike coconut, substitute the coconut milk with almond milk.
- Tangy Twist – Swap pineapple juice with lime juice for a tangy flavor.
- Soetheid Aanpassing – Increase the sugar to 1 cup for a sweeter bread.
- Vloeistof temperatuur – Ensure liquid ingredients are at room temperature to prevent coconut oil from solidifying.
- Selfs Bak – Foil the top of the bread after 40 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Koeltyd – Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure it sets properly.







your comment said not to drain the crushed pineapple plus adding 3T of pineapple juice. We used a 20oz can for 2 loaves and have left over pineapple. My loaf fall apart when cut.It seems too wet. It’s not undercooked and had very good flavor. Do you sift the flour then measure or measure then sift?
You are using too much pineapple, the recipe for one loaf calls for 1 can of 8 oz undrained. Using 20 oz for 2 loaf increase the pineapple + juice in the can by 25%. In baking, pineapple is a “heavy” and “wet” ingredient. Using 25% more than recommended causes several structural issues. Use two cans of 8 oz for two loaf for precision. Flour is scooped from the container, not sifted, but your issue is not flour, it’s the excess of moisture from pineapple.
Hi Carine, Thanks for your reply. You just confirmed what I believe on what went wrong with my loaves. I will use the 8 oz can vs the 20 oz.
I am glad I helped! I am sure it will get amazing next time.
I’m wondering if this would work for muffins instead of a loaf? Less oven time obviously, but otherwise it looks like it would work.
Absolutely, it should be fine and bake around 25-30 minutes.

Just confirming, you drain the pineapple then use the juice from it for the 3T pineapple juice? I have favorite recipe very close to this but it has banana, too. Yummy change from that! 🙂
Dankie!

Hi Michele, I don’t drain the crushed pineapple from the can, I add it all then I add extra 3 tablespoons of pineapple juice from a bottle of pineapple juice.
Hello! So just clarifying here. You’re using coconut milk in the carton, which is much more liquidy than canned. Just double-checking 🙂
Ja!
The smell in my kitchen is just delish!!! I used the crushed version but add tidbits, counting the minutes to taste it! Thanks for sharing you are the best !!!
Dankie!
Love this bread! Just made it last night – delish! I used tinned pineapple rings and chopped them into pieces. Overcooked it a bit – 50 min was too long – will try 40 next time.
I am so glad it works well with pineapple rings! Thanks for baking with me here.
The cake is so good! I baked it last evening! So moist and with an incredible tropical flavor!
Hi
Can you use Coconut flour
Not at all, the bread will never firm up. Coconut flour needs lots of eggs to bind.
Dankie dat jy na my teruggekom het.
My plesier!
I’m looking forward to making this! What size can do you use for the pineapple?
You have two options for this recipe, you can use 1 can (8oz.) Crushed canned Pineapple – or 3/4 cup of fresh pineapple – it’s about 1/2 of a fresh small pineapple after removing the core. I freeze my leftover pineapple chunks to add in my morning smoothies. I hope it helps.
