Sweet Tropical Pineapple Loaves

Hey everyone! I don’t know about you all, but around this time of year I start to get what I call the vacation blues. Work is crazy, school has started back, and the desire to be lounging on a tropical island somewhere is at an all time high.

While I unfortunately can’t help you or me ACTUALLY go on vacation, (sorry still haven’t scored the lottery yet!)I can certainly make us feel like we’re on vacation with my delicious and easy sweet tropical pineapple loaves.

You guys, these sweet tropical loaves are where it’s at! Craving pineapple? Check! Needing some coconut in your life? Check! A sweet glaze that hits the spot? Check! I made these just last weekend and they were a huge hit in the Owens’ Household. Even my husband being the super picky dessert eater that he is, loved it and kept going back for another slice, or two. 😉

Other than the delicious flavor, one of the things I love most about this dessert is the easy ability to share the love with others! As this recipe makes two whole loaves, it’s so easy to give a couple slices to parents, grandparents, neighbors, friends, and co-workers. In fact, this bread is one of my grandpa’s favorite and both the boys were so eager to deliver it to him! 🙂

The addition of crushed pineapple with juice makes it so moist and the hint of nutmeg really brings out all of the delicious flavors making it the perfect treat.

You should definitely “pin” and “yum” this dessert for later and make it this weekend. Actually, on second thought, you should make it stat if you’re really feeling the vacation blues like me! You won’t regret it, promise!

  10. I’m not a fan of pineapple or coconut but my mom LOVES both and I’m always trying to surprise her with stuff. I might just make this for her and put a smile on her face one day 🙂

  57. Question: Could this sweet tropical loaf be made in a 9×13 pan? I would love to take this to a potluck but am also wondering if it would cut into squares for serving.
