Ingredients

For the Coconut Bread

1 ¾ cups flour

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup coconut cream

3 tablespoons melted butter

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pineapple Jam

1 ½ cups fresh pineapple, finely chopped

¾ cup sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon grated ginger

Preparation

Preparing the Coconut Bread

Preheat Oven and Prep Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, coconut flakes, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Preparing the Pineapple Jam

Combine Jam Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine chopped pineapple, sugar, lemon juice, and grated ginger.

Cook Jam

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 20-25 minutes.

Cool Jam

Remove from heat and let cool completely before using.

Be cautious of the hot jam; it can splatter while cooking. Pro Tip: Use a food processor for evenly chopped pineapple.

Cooking Process

Mixing

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Cooling

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
