Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2/3 cup crushed pineapple, drained with a little juice reserved
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan. Drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid sogginess but save a small amount of juice for moisture. Measure and mix all dry ingredients separately to prevent clumps in the batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and the reserved pineapple juice to create a moist, tangy foundation for your bread.
- Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut (natural) and pineapple pieces carefully to preserve their texture and distribute tropical flavors evenly.
- Add Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the batter and mix gently without overworking, ensuring the bread will have a tender crumb and perfect hold.
- Bake Your Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh crushed pineapple for best moisture and flavor.
- Stir ingredients only until combined to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Ensure pineapple is well drained to prevent sogginess.
- Use room temperature eggs and oil for better mixing.
- Check your oven temperature for even baking and to avoid burning.
