Preparation
Preparing the Bread Mixture
Preheat and Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Combining Ingredients
Mix Wet and Dry
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir Batter
Stir until just combined — be careful not to overmix.
Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess moisture. Pro Tip: A pinch of nutmeg can enhance the depth of flavors in the bread.
Transfer to Pan
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cooking Process
Bake the Bread
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Bread
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth, and drizzle over the cooled bread.
