Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (plant-based)
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare your pan Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with a bit of coconut oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, shredded coconut (plant-based), and natural gelling agent until fully combined and evenly distributed.
- Combine wet ingredients In a separate bowl, blend the drained chopped pineapple, plant-based yogurt, coconut oil, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth, ensuring some pineapple pieces remain for texture.
- Incorporate wet and dry Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until moistened. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
- Bake the bread Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top lightly. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature to savor the moist, tropical delight.
Notes
- Use fresh or well-drained pineapple to prevent sogginess.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture.
- Measure flour by fluffing with a spoon, then leveling for accuracy.
- Start checking the bread at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking, as ovens vary.
- Cool the bread completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
